Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would y'all like to read in December?

(If you can't remember what we've read as a group - I can't always, either! - there's a "group-reads" shelf at the group bookshelf.)

Two nominations to a person, please.

Kristin Pauley | 1 comments When this is over - where do we see the final choice? I missed last months.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments Oh, very sorry to hear that!

GR is supposed to send out a reminder of group books before they start, but I could also send out a group message, if people feel I need to.
