Nominations Open - Group Read for September 2019

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in September 2019?

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.

[Natalie]

I will nominate and .

Tutor Dawn by David Field
The King's Commoner: The rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey by David Field

[Lois]

I’ll go with Young Bess and The Queen's Bed: An Intimate History of Elizabeth's Court.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

Tudor Dawn: Henry Tudor is ready to take the crown..., Dori? (I want to note that this book seems to be Kindle only, as I don't see any other editions listed.)

Also King's Commoner seems to be Book 2 in the series.

Good books but unfortunately they do not mention Lady Troy who brought up Elizabeth and Edward VI, or Blanche Parry Elizabeth's confidante for 56 years.

As the Bacton Altar Cloth goes on exhibition at Hampton Court Palace, London, on 12 October 2019 (until February 2020) may I humbly suggest my book 'Mistress Blanche Queen Elizabeth I's Confidante' 2018 edition. This has a new chapter describing the newly discovered portrait of Queen Elizabeth (in USA) and the story of the unique and priceless Bacton Altar Cloth.

And with that I close nominations.
