But more history-based, I though I had one on my shelf but I can't find it. Jack Cavanaugh writes some really realistic historical fiction, he's a Christian author so a lot of faith is wound in with the plot.

I'm not opposed to that at all. Besides, that really makes sense for that time period. So yessss. More things to read Thanks, Angela!

Thanks! I liked some of her books but they got a bit formulaic for me. She does have a great gift for storytelling! Her "facts" sometimes irk me though. Totally get her appeal though. I loved watching all of those shows. Have you seen Wolf Hall? I keep meaning to give that one a shot although it's not nearly as glitzy as those three.Londera wrote:I love Phillipa Gregory. Shes the reason why I love the Tudor era. If you want you can click on one of her books on Amazon and you will find a multitude of recommendations. I recommend shows The Tudors, Reign and the White Queen if you also like historical fiction shows.
I absolutely don't mind older books. I've never heard of Margaret Irwin but I'm going to check her out right now. I've only read one of Jean's books, the one about Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, but I've been meaning to look at the rest of her works. I've never read anything on King Philip II before, but that sounds amazing. Thanks for the suggestions!Lincolnshirelass wrote:These are slightly older books so may be harder to find, but I would recommend you look for books by Margaret Irwin, who is very good on the Tudor era. Also, Jean Plaidy wrote some good historical novels set in the period, including some of its possibly less famous characters like Katherine Parr and King Philip II
