Tudor Book Challenge 2021 Goal Post

This year I wanted to take a different approach to the reading challenges I’m participating in. I wanted to take on a challenge that would allow me to pick up books that I’ve been missing and books/genres that I’ve been wanting to get back into.

 

I’m such a Tudor/Stuart/WoR fanatic but, sadly, it’s been a minute since I’ve picked up a book (either fiction or nonfiction) about the people or the times and this is the perfect challenge to allow me to dive back into their fascinating worlds.

 

I haven’t picked out my TBR yet although, other than the book published in 2021, I think I should be able to shop my Renaissance/Medieval bookshelf for each prompt because my bookshelf is brimming with books I’ve not yet read.
