Up next…I didn‘t *love* Wolf Hall, but I‘ve heard this one is fantastic!

It‘s my December #bookspin pick!

#bookspinbingo #serieslove2024
@TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

TheSpineView Enjoy! 2d
Andrew65 This one for me was much better than Wolf Hall. (edited) 2d
Ruthiella Agree with @Andrew65 ; this middle book is shorter and more tightly structured than Wolf Hall. And it‘s much clearer that “he” = Cromwell. 2d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2d
Andrew65 @Ruthiella Yes that helped enormously! 2d
