Je le savais, je le savais ! Y en a un qui n'a pas pu s'empêcher de me parler du livre de #Bayrou lorsque j'ai dit que j'avais fini mon livre sur l'enfance d'#HenryIV.
Alors faut que ce soit clair entre nous : je m'en tape du livre des autres sur HenryIV, tout comme je t'avais dit que je m'en tape de tous les cas de #cancer que tu connais, que tu te sens obligé de me raconter, quand je te dis que j'ai un #cancer
Des livres sur HenryIV y en a des tas, mais comme le mien y en a qu'un, le mien.

For those of you who love historical medieval fiction with a dark touch:
My friend Mette Holm has released a new book in her Mowbray Chronicles series today (Book 4).
I've read some of her series (not really my genre) and I will say the stories are quite detailed and fascinating, if a little too dark for my liking. But life was hard back then, even for a nobleman, full of intrigue, secrets and betrayal.
Find her book here:

See how this river comes me cranking in
And cuts me from the best of all my land
A huge half-moon, a monstrous cantle out.
I’ll have the current in this place dammed up,
And here the smug and silver Trent shall run
In a new channel, fair and evenly.
It shall not wind with such a deep indent,
To rob me of so rich a bottom here.

Not wind? It shall, it must. You see it doth.
Interesting exchange in the light of the move to rewild river courses
Obvs all Hotspur's fault
