Six Tudor Queens: Anna of Kleve, Queen of Secrets by Alison Weir
I will nominate
and
. @Susanna: Catherine Carey was Anne Boleyn's niece. Does this work?
Sure, Natalie, that's fine.
Smile - for another novel imagining Katherine Carey's life there is my novel
and people also may be in interested Falling Pomegranate Seeds: The Duty of Daughters - which explores Katherine of Aragon's early years in Spain!
If anyone has a nomination they'd like to make, now would be a good time to make it - I will probably be closing nominations later today.
I will nominate The White Rose Murders and The Last Armada: Queen Elizabeth, Juan del Águila, and Hugh O'Neill: The Story of the 100-Day Spanish Invasion.And with that I close nominations.
The poll is now open. You'll find it at the bottom of the group's Home page, at the top of its Polls page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... .
If voting closed now, the winner would be Anna of Kleve: The Princess in the Portrait, by Alison Weir.
Does anybody know why in the UK the title is " Six tudor Queens- Anna of Kleve: Queen of secret" and in the US is " Anna of Kleve: The princess in the Portrait " ?The book is wonderful like the others even if I am not totally agree with a part of the story.
I don't know, Antonietta. There is a long tradition of renaming books in the US, sometimes for good reason and sometimes for none at all that I can discern.
Thank you SO much Antoinetta for posing that question and to Susanna for clarifying the fact that it isn't random and there is a long tradition of doing it. I didn't discern any good reason in this example, but nevertheless, I noticed that myself and was quite confused until I went to Alison Weir's official site-and then I saw all the UK titles. I am a big fan of her work and usually I don't notice-except with the book covers of course. Then, I started to notice it with other authors.

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.
