Just received this review from Amanda over on Goodreads for Anthony Woodville: Sophisticate or Schemer. Wow, what a lovely review!! 🥰 I’ve felt unwell for the last few days and this has cheered me up no end! ❤️❤️

I think my time here is done. The interaction level is low compared with all the crap that this site brings with it. I’m really sad as this is where my history journey started and I found a great history community. If you would like to follow me elsewhere, see the list below.

@enttruth2 Thank you. I’m sorry to leave too as this is where things started for me. The content allowed on this platform has made me question for a while. Recent events feel like the last straw. I hope you can follow me elsewhere, even if it’s on the free email subscription options.

@PrincessBurton Sorry to see you leave
