Nominations Open - Group Read for July 2020

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in July 2020?

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 nominateand and .

[William]

I will nominate by J.J. Scarisbrick and by Suzannah Lipscomb .

[*TUDOR^QUEEN*]

Uncrowned Queen: The Life of Margaret Beaufort, Mother of the Tudors

[Emma]

I will nominate Katheryn Howard, the Scandalous Queen

[Sherri]

How about Winter King: Henry VII and the Dawn of Tudor England by Thomas Penn? It was read in 2013 on the bookshelf so I am not sure if it can be nominated.

The other nominee Shadow of Persephone by G. Lawrence.

Yeah, we've read Winter King - the thread is still open if anyone has a comment on it. So you've still got a nomination, Sherri.

If anyone has a last-minute nomination to make, now would be a good time to do so.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads, Mod #4]

I will nominate Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart by John Guy, and Murder by Misrule by Anna Castle.

And with that I close nominations.

The winner, in an unsurprising landslide, was Katheryn Howard: The Scandalous Queen, by Alison Weir.
