Polls Closed - Group Read for April, 2014 (Nominations Closed)

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

So, what book about the Tudors or Tudor England would y'all like to read for April?

Two nominations to a person.

I'll be taking nominations for a few days, and then I'll make a poll.

What would you like to read?

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Stormbird is really Plantagenet, and is not out yet in the U.S., at any rate (I believe it's due here in July). (I agree, it does look interesting, though.)

[Elena]

I nominate "Dissolution" by C.J. Sansom and "The Creation of Anne Boleyn" by Susan Bordo.

[V.E.]

'The Rise of the Tudors' by Chris Skidmore

[Kaitlyn]

The lady Elizabeth by Alison weir

[Jo]

I second . And if you have a Kindle, Amazon has it on sale this month.

[Krystal]

Anything by Weir is good.

[Jenny]

Hi, i am new to the group.
Just for info, A.W's sequel to The Lady Elizabeth - The Marriage Game - is published in UK on June 26th.
I am reading Tudor The Family Story by Leanda de Lisle. A large book full of well sourced info including some of the less well known players in the Tudor family. Well worth a try and available on audio too.
So many good books around!

[Susan]

Thanks for the info about Alison Weir releasing new book in June. Will add it to my wish list

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

I think I'll nominate The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers, by Margaret George.

Will add this to my to read list! Sounds like a good book!

[Karen]

I vote for Dissolution by CJ Sansom and Alison Weir's A Dangerous Inheritance

[Laura]

Loved The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers, by Margaret George.
I loved Will's insights and comments! I often wondered what people who were close personally to Henry thought privately.

[Geanine]

Susan Higginbothams Her Highness the Traitor.

[Susan]

I suggest Anne Wroe's book Perkin. The mystery of Perkin Warbeck who assumed the role of one of the princes in the tower and his impact upon the reign of Henry Tudor. A fascinating plot.

[Bonnie-ann]

Yay on he new Weir novel on Elizabeth -- Lady Elizabeth is one of my faves

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Well, I think that's plenty of nominations (yay for finally getting back online for the first time in 4 days - we had the plasterers in), so I'll start up a poll.
