Tudor History Lovers discussion

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in December 2017?

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.

Thanks, Susanna!

The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: "The Most Happy" by Eric Ives

Anne of Cleves: Henry's Luckiest Wife by D. Lawrence-Young

I will nominate and .

I'd like to nominate Amy Robsart: A Life and Its End and Graven with diamonds: the many lives of Thomas Wyatt : courtier, poet, assassin, spy

Wicked women of Tudor England by Retha Warnicke and Tudor Women by Alison Plowden.

Adrienne Dillard :The Raven’s Widow
Mary Lovell: Bess of Hardwick Empire Builder

Both my recommendations are by Nicola Tallis

Elizabeth's Rival: The Tumultuous Life of the Countess of Leicester: The Romance and Conspiracy that Threatened Queen Elizabeth's Court

Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey

I will nominate Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant by Tracy Borman, and The White Rose Murders, by Paul Doherty.

If anyone has a nomination to make, now is a good time to do so, as I will probably open the poll sometime tomorrow.

The nominations are now closed, and I have opened the poll. You'll find it on the front page of the group, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

If the poll were closing now, we would need to have a runoff poll, between Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey, and Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant.

We did indeed have a tie, and it is runoff time.

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

The winner: Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey.

We'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .
