The white queen-- I joined the group after you read this and have been interested in it. So I'll nominate that.
This is difficult - there's three good ones on my to-read list and I'm struggling to decide between them.Since it's the highest rated of the three, I think I'll go for:
When Christ and His Saints Slept
The kitchen boy has been on my list a long time so I vote that one to help me pick it up!
There are several on there that I have heard are fantastic that I have not read yet! Whatever you choose will be a great choice for the participants! I must say that Penman's When Christ and His Saints Slept was so fantastic for me that it got me out of the Tudor period and looking for more earlier medieval reads.
Nominating is closed! I'll set up a voting poll later tonight!

Please try to check Amazon or some other site to make sure the book is still easily available (I know we had no problems finding these books the first time around, but it’s been a while since we read some of them, and unfortunately I don’t have time to check them all - I will double check the nominations though and let you know if a book is now hard to find).
Feel free to nominate one book from the above list in this thread until March 7th, 9pm Eastern.
At around that time, I'll make a voting poll and list all the nominated books in it, and people can vote in the poll until the poll closes (around end of March 11th). Discussion can start on APRIL 15th.
Happy Nominating!
