Tudor History Lovers discussion

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in September 2020?

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 .

Georgette Heyer's The Spanish Bride is set during the Napoleonic Wars, so I'm going to have to say no to that one.

Were you thinking Laurien Gardner's The Spanish Bride? That's eligible and we haven't read it.

@Susanna: Yes, I meant .

Okey dokey then.

I will nominate by Harry Kelsey and by John Edwards.

I'dlike to nominate and

I'd like to nominate HAMNET by Maggie:
O'Farrell Hamnet
"A short, piercing, deeply moving new novel about the death of Shakespeare's eleven-year-old son Hamnet--a name interchangeable with Hamlet in fifteenth-century Britain--and the years leading up to the production of his great play." It has GLOWING reviews. That said, it looks difficult to get in Canada.

I will probably close nominations later today, so if anyone has a suggestion to make, now is a good time to do so.

Alright, I will nominate Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart by John Guy, and Murder by Misrule by Anna Castle.

And with that I close nominations.

The poll is now open.

You'll find it at the top of the group's Polls page, the bottom of its Home page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2... .

If the poll closed now (which it does not) - the winner would be Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart.

The winner was indeed the John Guy biography, and we'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .
