Tudor History Lovers discussion

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in October 2018?

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.

I will nominate and .

I can't believe we are picking books for October already.

Yeah, it feels like it was Memorial Day about a week ago.

Mary Tudor England's First Queen by Anna Whitelock
and Jane Boleyn: the infamous Lady Rochford by Julia Fox

We read Jane Boleyn: The True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochford in October 2015 - so you have a nomination left, Antonietta.

OK thank you. So... " The Lady Mary" by Lucy Worsley

We read Katherine of Aragón: The True Queen in July 2016 - so you still have two nominations, Nora.

I'll nominate A Dead Man in Deptford

I'll nominate Anne of Cleves: Henry's Luckiest Wife and The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn

I was going to nominate Dead Man in Deptford! Great book, I'll vote for it!

Watch the Lady by Elizabeth Freemantle
The Voyage of the Destiny by Robert Nye

I'll probably be closing nominations and opening the poll later today, so now would be a good time to make any last minute suggestions.

I will nominate The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England by Ian Mortimer, and The Last Armada: Queen Elizabeth, Juan del Águila, and Hugh O'Neill: The Story of the 100-Day Spanish Invasion by Des Ekin.

And with that, I close nominations and am off to open the poll.

The poll is now open. You'll find it at the top of the Polls section, the bottom of the group's Home page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

If the poll closed now (which it does not) the winner would be Ian Mortimer's The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England.

Great book!

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

I have already read (actually listened on audible) this book, but will follow discussion! This gives me time to read September's choice of "The Sisters of Henry VIII."
October's choice is quite interesting. I also listened to the Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England, also by the same author. Enjoy!

He's got a guide to Restoration Britain, too.

The guide to medieval England is the one I liked best.

I nominate and

We've already chosen October's read, Carolina - be sure to nominate those next time, though!
