Nominations Open - Group Read for November 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 November 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.

We read Innocent Traitor in October 2014, so you have a nomination left, Antonietta.

Tony, I see that book is the third in the series. Is it readable as a stand alone?
