- I love the Tudors, and that is reflected in this rather large TBR... I'm hoping by making this video, I can shame myself into reading some more of them!

"The Creation of Anne Boleyn" is a really good book! I listened to it on audiobook & loved it! I love the Tudors, and I love reading cultural histories, so it was right up my alley.
relly enjoyed this! you definitely peaked my interest about those alison weir six wives fictionalised accounts!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! 😁 since making this video I’ve read the first one and absolutely loved it, I’d highly recommend!
Just wanted to mention that I hope you will be reading other books about Mary Queen of Scots. I agree with the idea that she has been frequently "romanticized" but Wormald goes to the extreme of really excoriating her for basically not being a natural politician. I'd suggest Mary Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser, probably the first balanced biography (not romanticizing nor going to the extreme of painting her as a schemer). A newer biography is the one by John Guy, Mary Queen of Scots, The True Life of Mary Stuart or there is another version known as Heart Is My Own: The Life of Mary Queen of Scots.
Oooo thank you for the recommendations! I'll have to look into those :D
Hi. I’ve just found and subscribed to your RUclips channel. I’ve just watched your video on your Tudor book collection and I love it. I love books about the Plantagenet and Tudor court.
Thank you so much 😊 I’m planning on reading as many as I can from this video this year, so there will be some reviews coming up in the near future!
You need to check out authors Philippa Gregory and Margaret George!
Another good Tudor book series is the Wolf Hall Trilogy by Hilary Mantel. These three books are written from Thonas Cromwell's point of view regarding the events he witbessed and was involved in during the reign of Henry VIII. I've already read the first two books from the series, Wolf Hall and Bringing Up the Bodies which I enjoyed and found interesting. I am now starting on the third and final book of the series, The Mirror and the Light. These books are historical fiction and worth reading if you are a fan of books about the Tudors.
I have a confession… I actually DNFed Wolf Hall! I just really didn’t get on with the writing style. Maybe I’ll give it another go someday though!
@@elementarymydear so did I 🤣 it was hyped up so much I thought it would be brilliant but just couldn't get in to it
