Tudor History Lovers discussion

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in August?

If it's in a series, can it be easily read as a stand-alone? If not, you might want to nominate the first book in the series, or the most recent book in it the group has not read together.

Can't remember what we've already read as a group? (Sometimes I can't, either.) There's a "group-reads" shelf on the group's Bookshelf.

Two nominations to a person, please.

The Lady in the Tower, by Jean Plaidy

My Lady of Cleves: A Novel of Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves by Margaret Campbell Barnes

Plain Jane: A novel of Jane Seymour by Laurien Gardner

Elizabeth of York by Alison Weir

We read Elizabeth of York: A Tudor Queen and Her World in January 2014 - the thread is still open (if you scroll down the list far enough).

Sorry
Young & Damned & Fair by Gareth Russell

I will nominate and .

Mary Tudor: The First Queen

I'll probably be closing nominations and opening the poll sometime tomorrow, so now is a good time to make a nomination, if you have anything in mind.

I will nominate The Tudor Bride by Joanna Hickson and The Last Boleyn by Karen Harper.

I will nominate The Last Armada - Queen Elizabeth, Juan del Águila, and Hugh O`Neill: The Story of the 100-Day Spanish Invasion by Des Ekin and Elizabeth's London: Everyday Life in Elizabethan London by Liza Picard.

And now I will close nominations and set up a poll.

The poll is at the bottom of the group's home page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

@Susanna: FYI: Just wanted to pass along that I may nominate a little later than usual next month or not all.


Can we still vote on the polls for a particular month even if we don't nominate that month?

Oh, sure.

@Susanna: Thanks for the clarification.

No problem.

At this point it looks like the winner is going to be Young and Damned and Fair: The Life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of King Henry VIII.

It is indeed the winner, and we'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .

:)

Looks like I may be able to get in audio. I will have to check on my library's website first, though.

@Susanna: FYI: My request for in audio is now pending at our library through inter-library loan. Yay!
