Hoping people may consider book one or two of My 'Falling Pomegranate Seeds' 'series. Both novels - which tell the story of Katherine of Aragon - can be read as 'stand alones'.
(Currently shortlisted for 2020 Chaucer Award)
I would love for people to consider one of the books from my Seymour Saga trilogy! They are all standalone, but it just so happens that Jane the Quene is actually about to a Bookbub Featured Deal (from April 4-18)...Jane the QueneThe Path to SomersetThe Boy King
I nominate
by Leanda de Lisle (I just finished
by her and it was excellent). I also will nominate
by Benjamin Woolley.
I will nominate " The King's Grey Mare" by RoseMary Hawley Jarman and " Young, Dammed and Fair: The life of Catherine Howard, Fifth Wife of King Henry VIII " by Gareth Russell
I will nominate The Confident Hope of a Miracle: The True Story of the Spanish Armada by Neil Hanson, and A Dead Man in Deptford by Anthony Burgess.And with that I close nominations.
The poll is now open. You'll find it at the top of the group's Polls page, the bottom of its Home page, or here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2... .

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.
