Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in April 2018?

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.

Anu Ramesh | 5 comments Thx Susanna! Can anyone tell me how to see the group bookshelf on the goodreads app on iPad?


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments Here's a link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... .

Not sure how much that helps, as I don't have an iPad and don't use the app if I can avoid it.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments If anyone has a nomination to make, now is a good time to do so. I'll probably be closing them and opening the poll sometime later today.

I voted!


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments If voting closed now (which it doesn't), the winner would be Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments Jane Dunn's dual biography was indeed the winner, and we'll be discussing it here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... .
