Brief Gaudy Hour by, Margaret Campbell Barnes
The other Boleyn girl by Philipa Gregory
Sarah-Beth WatkinsThe Tudor Brandons: Mary And Charles - Henry VIII's Nearest
I would like to nominate Charles Brandon: The King's Man by Sarah Bryson and Watch The Lady by Elizabeth Freemantle.
Without question my first nomination The colours of our petals and secondly I nominate The Children of Henry VIII
We read Alison Weir's The Children of Henry VIII as a group in January 2015 (that thread remains open). So you still have a nomination, Aled.
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.I'll be closing nominations and opening the poll probably sometime later today, so if anyone has a last-minute suggestion to make, now is a good time to make it.
The nominations are closed, and the poll is open. You'll find it on the front page of the group, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .
The poll closes tonight at midnight; right now it would be Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant by a razor-thin margin (1 vote), over Amy Robsart: A Life and Its End and Watch the Lady and The Other Queen.
Update: Currently we would have a run-off vote between the Cromwell bio and Watch the Lady.
The victor, by one vote: Thomas Cromwell: The Untold Story of Henry VIII's Most Faithful Servant. (Incredibly close voting generally; there was a gap of 3 votes between the top six!)We'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .

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.
