Ha that bottle isn't really that big ya know....

[thevintagegoth]

@rencrow it's more gatorade than i've ever drank before so it's huge to me. lol

[LadyMoonMelody]

I totally recommend the book "Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel, which chronicles the power plays in the Tudor royal court under the influence of Cardinal Wolsey.

[thevintagegoth]

@LadyMoonMelody yep! i've heard of that book. don't know how i missed it on my list!

[LadyMoonMelody]

@thevintagegoth Which books on Tudor history have been your favourites so far?

[thevintagegoth]

@LadyMoonMelody well, as far as content and information, i really like alison weir's non fiction books. her "the wives of henry viii" was the first non-ficiton book i read about all 6 wives and it's what made me want to be a historian. as far as my favourite historical fiction on the subject, i'd have to say it's a close call between all of philippa gregory's books but "the other queen" and "the constant princess" take the lead.

[them0sthappy]

I found a book by alison weir called the princes in the tower you might like.

[teawesome]

Mary Tudor: Princess, Bastard, Queen by Anna Whitelock

The Tudors by G. J. Meyer
