I am featuring books in the order that they were added to my Goodreads To-Read shelf, so sometimes there will be a couple weeks in a row of books on the same topic.
Neglected Book of the Week
Why did I add Tudor Cousins: Rivals for the Throne to my TBR?
Because at any point after Henry VIII died the Tudor reign could have been radically altered from what we know it as today. The possibilities are deliciously endless.
Have you read this book, or is it somewhere on your TBR? If you've read it, would you recommend it to others?
Happy Reading!
Sarah
deliciously endless...i guess that means you have a taste for the Tudor. :-)

Most definitely! Even if the Plantagenets are my fave dynasty now, the Tudors will always be my first love!
DeleteI have not read that book. But soon I will read The Mirror and the Light, the final book about Henry and Cromwell by Hilary Mantel.
ReplyDeleteToday I am reading a book from my backlog called You Can See More From Up Here by Mark Guerin, a man who published his first novel at an advanced age. I think he is even older than I am!
I have steered clear of historical fiction for so long because I really get upset when authors take liberties with real historical people. Do you think Mantel has done so in her novels, or does she stay true to what we know of these very real people?
DeleteThis one does sound "delicious," and I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am definitely looking forward to it!
DeleteHey, I've actually seen this one at the library and paused over it. I do wonder how things would have shaken out if the monarchy order had changed.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! Our library doesn't carry it, though I have found paperbacks pretty cheap on Amazon. It's definitely one I want to get to soon.
