Tudor History Lovers discussion

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would y'all like to read in May?

Two nominations to a person, please.

(Unsure if we've already read it as a group? There's a shelf for group reads on the group bookshelf.)

The Pilgrimage of Grace by Geoffrey Moorehouse.

by Carolyn Meyer and by Amy Licence.

The Creation of Anne Boleyn: In Search of the Tudors' Most Notorious Queen by Susan Bordo

What about "All the Queen's Players" by Jane Feather?

To the Tower Born: A Novel of the Lost Princes

or The King's Pleasure

How about Alison Weir's first historical novel 'Innocent Traitor' which tells the poignant story of Lady Jane Grey, the 'Nine Day Queen'?

We read Innocent Traitor last October.

Sorry, not around then. How about 'Edward VI.The Lost King of England' or have you read that too?

Don't think so - that sounds like a good one.

How about The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory

Hi Everyone!! How about THE CROWN by Nancy Bilyeau???? Alison Weir highly recommends this book.

The Forgotten Tudor Women: Margaret Douglas, Mary Howard & Mary Shelton or Henry VIII's Last Love: The Extraordinary Life of Katherine Willoughby, Lady-in-Waiting to the Tudors, please!

Katherine Willoughby is a fascinating figure. She was very lucky to escape Henry VIII's clutches.

I'm just starting The Queen's Bed: An Intimate History of Elizabeth's Court

I'll nominate one myself - Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel.

And I think that's plenty of nominations - I'll go start a poll now.

Here's the poll: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

It's also on the bottom of the group's home page, right over the photographs section.

How do I get to the poll? That link takes me to some weird poll. LOL Am I too late to vote? I'm new to this group and SUPER excited to have found it.

Yes, that's the link to the poll.

It's also on the bottom of the home page of this group. (On the top right, under the Tudor History Lovers banner, you'll find a link to "Group Home." It should be at the bottom of that page.) Voting doesn't close for a couple of days.

The winner: The Creation of Anne Boleyn: A New Look at England's Most Notorious Queen, by Susan Bordo.

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