I’ve not had Tudor fatigue for a while but I know what you mean. I think I must enter your contest as I have read little of Mary except for the bad. I would like to know more about her. Don’t worry, if i don’t win it, it will go on the wish list.

I think Wolf Hall will be my next audio from audible.com.

This certainly sounds interesting to me. I don’t really have much knowledge nor have I read much on the Tudor period but it definitely interests me. Maybe after I get more background, I’ll be ready for this book.

I don’t have Tudor fatigue . . . yet. I’m sure I’ll be reading this one eventually because I’m interested in seeing a sympathetic take on poor Mary.

I just received my copy of the book. Though I have been spending quite a bit with the Tudors, I couldn’t pass this one up. I know quite a bit about her childhood but not her adulthood. I think I would like to see her in a better light.

I enjoyed this book and hope to post my review on Friday. I appreciated the sympathetic portrayal of Mary Tudor. I also like how you got some of her thoughts and feelings while the story was told by others. That is really what has happened. Others are telling her story.

On a related note, Wolf Hall is going slowly for me. I enjoyed the first third, but I’ve put it down for now. I don’t know if I would call it Tudor fatigue. It takes a lot of concentration to read the author’s writing.

I haven’t been drawn to the Tudor books for some reason, and I’m not really sure why.

I’ve kind of taken a hiatus from the Tudors for a while now so I may have to check this one out. She certainly was a different kind of ruler.

I love the Tudors. I’m also waiting for my Christmas Vacation to read “Wolf Hall.” I’m going to add this to my TBR list. I haven’t read much about Mary Tudor.

Tudor fatigue, huh? I wonder if there is a medication for that? This is not something I would normally read, and of course, who wouldn’t want to know a little bit more about Bloody Mary? I may be back for the giveaway!
