Winner Chosen - Group Read for April 2016

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to read in April 2016?

Two nominations to a person, please.

Can't remember what we've already read? (Sometimes I can't, either.) There's a "group reads" shelf in the group's bookshelf (link to it is on the right side of the page).

[Elizabeth]

"The Temptation of Elizabeth Tudor" is a fact based historical anthology of the early relationship between Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth Tudor, following the death of King Henry VIII. It is written by Elizabeth Norton, a British historian who specializes in the Queens of England and the Tudor period. Her writing, while non fiction, reads like a novel and is quite engrossing. I read this book a few weeks ago and gave it a (rare for me) 5 stars. I HIGHLY recommend this book!

[Gretchen]

Dark Fire

or

Mary Queen of Scotland and The Isles (I'm hoping this counts since Elizabeth and Mary had such an interesting relationship. I have had it on my shelf forever it seems.)

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Those both look great, Gretchen - Mary Queen of Scots is fair game.

[NayNay]

John Dudley: The Life of Lady Jane Grey's Father-in-Law by Christine Hartweg

Or

Jasper Tudor, Godfather of the Tudor Dynasty by Debra Bayani

[Jasmine]

I'd like to nominate Royal Inheritance by Kate Emerson and The King's Daughter by Barbara Kyle.

[Christine]

Wow that book sounds great!

[Ariel]

I would like to nominate Anne of Cleves by D. Lawrence-Young

[Anna M.]

I would like to nominate:
The Other Boleyn Girl

I just absolutely love it despite it being very romanticised and not too historically accurate.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

I think I'll nominate The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir, and I, Elizabeth, by Rosalind Miles.

And that looks like a good number of nominations, so I think I'll close that and open a poll.

The poll is open here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

And it's also on the front page of the group, near the bottom of the page.
