Nominations Open - Group Read for May 2018

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in May 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.

The Miracle at St. Bruno's by Philippa Carr.

My Enemy, the Queen by Victoria Holt.

Anne Boleyn: Femme Fatale by Amy License

Elizabeth's Rival: The Tumultuous Life of the Countess of
Leicester: The Romance and Conspiracy that Threatened Queen Elizabeth's Court By Nicola Tallis

We read Katherine of Aragon, the True Queen in July 2016.

We read The King's Curse in November 2014.

So you still have two nominations, Tudor Queen.

If anyone has a nomination to make, now is a good time to make it; I'll probably be opening the poll sometime tomorrow.

I will nominate The White Rose Murders and Elizabeth's London: Everyday Life in Elizabethan London, and with that, nominations are closed.

The poll is now open. You'll find it on the front page of the group (at the bottom), at the top of the Polls section (link on the right of the group's pages), or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .

If the poll closed now (which it does not), the winner would be The Perfect Prince: The Mystery of Perkin Warbeck and His Quest for the Throne of England, by Ann Wroe.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

The winner was indeed The Perfect Prince: The Mystery of Perkin Warbeck and His Quest for the Throne of England.

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

@Susanna: I am going to sit out this discussion because doesn't not appear to be available in audio.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Yeah, I saw audio cassette, but that's not a common format these days in terms of what readers actually use.
