#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 1mo

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads I don‘t think any wife of Henry VIII had a good time, but I particularly felt bad for the teenage Catherine Howard. Enjoy. 1mo
Cuilin @rwmg Fabulous, looking forward to your thoughts. 1mo
Mollyanna I‘m in the middle of Revelation with @dabbe and also in the middle of Wolf Hall. Hopefully I can finish Wolf Hall in January. I‘ve read several of Gregory‘s books. They‘re pretty good. 1mo

Bluebird I love Shardlake! I hope you enjoy the first one! This month I‘m reading 4w

#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 2mo

dabbe I'll be finishing the #ShardlakeSeriesBR with the tagged in January. I'm thoroughly enjoying rereading these historical mystery reads! 🤩 2mo
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...
2mo
Cuilin @dabbe Thank you, for reminder about the spreadsheet. I thought Shardlake would work for this prompt. 😉 2mo
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. 2mo
Karisimo @dabbe @cuilin I‘m definitely using shardlake for this one! (edited) 2mo
Cuilin @rwmg yes I can create a separate hashtag like #BookedinTimeJanTudors Would that work? 2mo
Cuilin @Karisimo I‘m looking forward to it but worried about adding another series to my TBR lol 😆 2mo
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 2mo
Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures loved that trilogy, perfect choice 2mo
dabbe @Karisimo 🤩🤩🤩 2mo
dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures On the spreadsheet! 🤩 2mo
dabbe @Bookwormjillk On the spreadsheet! 🤩 2mo
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 2mo
Cuilin @rwmg Got it!! I can absolutely do that. I‘m not adverse to posting a few hashtags. 2mo
rwmg Thank you 😘 2mo
julieclair Love this time period! 2mo
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... 2mo
kspenmoll I have Hamnet in my TBR so that will be my choice! 1mo
Cuilin @kspenmoll I loved it. Enjoy. 1mo
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) 1mo
Cuilin @Jess861 Enjoy!! 1mo
julieclair @Jess861 You‘re welcome! I like it for tracking, too. 1mo

I just got done reading this book and it was very interesting take on Henry VIII's children and his great niece. It went in depth of each of the children and what happened during their reigns of England. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

His [Richard's] subjects, evidently, were prepared to believe anything of him so long as it was sufficiently horrific.

The tagged book is my first dive into the twisted world of Henry the 8th and his rather yucky family. This book is taking me a while to read, partly because it's a chunk and partly because it's heavy-handed on politics and corruption and really we face enough of that in the modern world so...

• Reached 8 hrs in the audiobook and I'm beat. The whole time I've been reading/listening to this book, my brain has gotten so clogged with details and facts that I have had to rewind and reread several large sections, sometimes more than once. It's kind of ridiculous, really. The book is so interesting but so dense at times. Anyone else feel this way about it? •
