#BookedInTime #BookedInTimeJanuary25 #BookedInTimeTudors

In the wake of the War of the Roses, the House of Tudor succeeded the Plantagenets. They ruled 118 years from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, succeeded by the Stuarts. The most well known Tudor being Henry VIII, with his six wives, and his daughter Elizabeth I, who reigned for 45 years. I‘m reading book 1 of Shardlake series. You? Comment, post or review at the end of the month!

ChaoticMissAdventures An incredible time. I am going to finally read 5d

#BookedInTime

I personally love this time period. So much drama and so much to choose from. Thanks to @rubyslippersreads for suggesting this prompt.

Bookwormjillk This time period has always been a challenge for me but I did find this chunkster unread on my phone the other day 3w

dabbe I'll be finishing the #ShardlakeSeriesBR with the tagged in January. I'm thoroughly enjoying rereading these historical mystery reads! 🤩 3w
dabbe Reminder to everyone: we have a spreadsheet with all of the books we've read! Here's the link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sLpOtIgy6SwJkyU0wwno2MN4YUbe0ldjPwSusW3g...
3w
Cuilin @dabbe Thank you, for reminder about the spreadsheet. I thought Shardlake would work for this prompt. 😉 3w
rwmg How would you feel about a separate tag for announcements of upcoming periods to be discussed, such as BookedInTimePeriods? I plan each month's reading at the end of the previous month and I can't always find what the period is easily. 3w
Karisimo @dabbe @cuilin I‘m definitely using shardlake for this one! (edited) 3w
Cuilin @rwmg yes I can create a separate hashtag like #BookedinTimeJanTudors Would that work? 3w
Cuilin @Karisimo I‘m looking forward to it but worried about adding another series to my TBR lol 😆 3w
ChaoticMissAdventures This is perfect I had this one on my TBR all this year and kept putting it off. This gives me more incentive to pick it up in January 3w
Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures loved that trilogy, perfect choice 3w
dabbe @Karisimo 🤩🤩🤩 3w
dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures On the spreadsheet! 🤩 3w
dabbe @Bookwormjillk On the spreadsheet! 🤩 3w
rwmg I was thinking of something more general. If I've forgotten the prompt, which I usually have by the beginning of the month, I can't look up eg Tudors. so I need something like BookedInTimeJan2024 3w
Cuilin @rwmg Got it!! I can absolutely do that. I‘m not adverse to posting a few hashtags. 3w
rwmg Thank you 😘 3w
julieclair Love this time period! 3w
julieclair @rwmg (and everyone) I have set up a challenge on StoryGraph that lists all the prompts, if that would be helpful to you: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/2cdac7b0-0085-4e6b-b601-f63cbd6... 3w
kspenmoll I have Hamnet in my TBR so that will be my choice! 1w
Cuilin @kspenmoll I loved it. Enjoy. 1w
Jess861 I'm planning to read either The Wise Woman or The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory.

@julieclair - thank you for the storygraph add for bookedintime! I find it such a great tool to track prompts for challenges!
(edited) 6d
Cuilin @Jess861 Enjoy!! 6d
julieclair @Jess861 You‘re welcome! I like it for tracking, too. 5d

Scholarly but very readable. I enjoyed this look at Tudor women, focusing on the wives, yes, but also others of the era. There are a lot of characters to keep straight in Henry VIII‘s court, but it gets easier with each book I read.

Melismatic Reminds me of the musical ‘Six‘! 💜 3mo
Lcsmcat @Melismatic I read somewhere that this was the inspiration for that musical. 3mo
Melismatic Oh I love that!! 🥳 3mo

Not ready to stop reading about the Tudors after The Mirror and the Light, so I‘m hoping these 3, plus the tagged book not pictured, will scratch that itch. #bookhaul

Fictional life of Anne Boleyn from the age of 11 to her death.

Interesting about her early life in the courts of Burgundy and France, a more difficult read once she arrives at Henry VIII's court, simply because the story is so well known and it wasn't enough to overcome the bias in Katherine of Aragon's favour from having read “The True Queen“ earlier.

atenelli It‘s such a good read. I learned a lot about her and definitely want to reread this novel. I felt that her life must have been hard after her return to England, particularly with her family‘s demands of her. 7mo
