Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in November 2019?

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.

Perhaps we should read the first volume in the series.

Tony Riches (tonyriches) | 42 comments My book 'Katherine - Tudor Duchess' is newly published:

Katherine - Tudor Duchess (The Brandon Trilogy Book 3) by Tony Riches

Katherine Willoughby was a woman far ahead of her time, prepared to stand up for her beliefs, and the story of her life helps us see the complex world of the Tudors through a new perspective,

message 7: by Antonietta (new)

Antonietta | 33 comments I nominate " Innocent Traitor" by Alison Weir and " The Prices in the tower" by Aliso Weir


message 8: by Janet (new)

Janet Wertman | 20 comments My book Jane the Quene covers (duh) Jane's time on the throne, and The Path to Somerset covers her brother Edward's rise during the second triad of Henry's wives!

Jane the Quene
The Path to Somerset


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments We read Innocent Traitor in October 2014, so you have a nomination left, Antonietta.

Tony, I see that book is the third in the series. Is it readable as a stand alone?

Christine Hartweg | 48 comments I'd like to nominate John Dudley The Life of Lady Jane Grey's Father-in-Law by Christine Hartweg and The Spanish Armada by Robert Hutchinson


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments I'll probably open the poll tomorrow, so if anyone has a last minute nomination to make, now's a good time.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments Alright, I will nominate Murder by Misrule by Anna Castle, and Elizabeth's London: Everyday Life in Elizabethan London, by Liza Picard.

And with that I close nominations.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments The poll is now open. You'll find it at the top of the group's Polls page, at the bottom of its Home page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments The massive leader at this point: The Princes in the Tower, by Alison Weir.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments It was indeed the winner, and we'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .
