Susanna - Censored by GoodReads (susannag) | 2165 comments What book about the Tudors or Tudor England would you like to have as our Group Read in May 2021?

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.

Wendy Dunn (wendyjdunn) | 16 comments 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'.
