I can't think of an era I don't like reading about, although the medieval Plantagenets are not my favorites. Maybe a little William & Mary?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love to read about the Plantagenets and the Wars of the Roses eras, recently I've become more and more interested in pre-conquest Britain.
ReplyDeleteI mostly read about the Plantagenets and the Tudors... But there's so much out there on those 2 families!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I've mostly read Regency and Victorian era fiction. I think I'd enjoy reading about Alfred the Great and the age of Viking attacks - or possibly the pre-history of Stonehenge.
ReplyDeleteRegency is laways good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I truly enjoy reading about the Plantagenets (a passion that was started actually when I first read The Traitor's Wife when it first came out a few years ago.) I would love to own my own copy of the Traitor's Wife to reread again since the first time I read it, I got it from the library. I am quite burnt out with the Tudors unless it is a minor character I know nothing about.
ReplyDeleteNo need to enter my name - I've just read this fabulous novel! But, thank you for the mention - I have an interview with Susan posted today! Great giveaway - you're going to have some very excited winners!
ReplyDeleteI like the Tudors and the Medicis!

Of course I love reading about the Tudors, but I also love reading about the Victorian era.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Lisa See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and I'm hoping to read more about that era in China.

Oh I'd love to win this! I really love books set during the Victorian era in England. Or really anywhere during that period. What a crazy time in the world. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't have an actual favorite, I loved everything that I've read so far. Makes me feel like I'm learning more deeply into the history of the world, even though it's fiction! It would make college classes more interesting though, that's for sure.

I love to read about the Tudors -
ReplyDeleteand I'd love to read this book!

I love reading about the pharaohs in Egypt - Cleopatra, Ramses, and Nefertiti (obviously different time periods!).
Really I like to read books set in any era. Dark Age Celtic, obviously :-), but I love the ancient world as a setting too, as well as the Tudors, Plantagenets, etc.
ReplyDeleteSharon Penman's Henry II Trilogy is awesome, I love that series. for some reason I can spell planta genista better then plantagenets.

Please enter me in the drawing, it is still on my wishlist. Thanks!

I'm really glad you said that The Tudors is an acceptable answer, because they really are my favorite historical subjects to read about. But really, anything involving English history, ancient Greece or Rome, or the slavery era all tend to be good reads. I think it's because of the complexity and historical impact involved.
ReplyDeletetiffanyak1986(at)hotmail(dot)com
I love reading about the Medieval times, everything from Bede to St. Augustine to fiction like Ellis Peters. I enjoy the historical info on your blog, and I know I'd enjoy the book. Please enter me in the drawing as well!
ReplyDeleteMatthewdotashe@yahoodotcom
I also love reading about the 1920s and the extravagance of that decade.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :)

I love historical books. The Tudor dynasty is of course one of my favorites. I mean who cannot love all those political roller coaster. I also love reading about the medieval times and the times of cleopatra.

ReplyDeleteI am not surprised by the popularity of the Tudors. They are quite interesting and intriguing!! I prefer that era myself. I also love Victorian England Historical Fiction too!
ReplyDeleteI am not too picky of reading subjects. I guess.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI love reading historical fiction so it is hard to choose just one family that I enjoy. I just finished Shanghai Girls by Lisa See so I am going to say that her historical novels are among my favorites.
ReplyDeletejoannelong74@gmail.com
DEFINITELY the Julio-Claudian family (Rome).

Well, I am currently in the middle of Sharon Penman's The Devil's Brood, which I never thought I'd be reading! It's a fascinating story, and Ms.Penman characterizes all of the participants very, very well. My favorite historical period is medieval, but I'll read about almost any historical period, as long as it's well-written and engaging, and doesn't "mess" too much with what is known(or what I know about it).

Right now, I'm particularly drawn to the 1920s and the 1930s, but normally I'm interested the Renaissance period whether its in England, Italy, or elsewhere. I'd really love to read The Traitor's Wife - I'm a big fan of Marlowe's Edward II and I'd love a different take on the story.
ReplyDeleteThe Victorian era is a favorite of mine and also anything historical about the royals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this lovely book.

I have always been very interested in Henry and all his wives, however, after discovering I am (a 1630's new Englander), related to Edward I through his daughter Elizabeth who married a de Bohun and on back, I have really started to delve into their History as well as those of Henry I, Henry II and William the Conqueror. So, I would say that is a time frame I would really like to know more about.
ReplyDeleteThe Tudors!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the Tudors. There is something fascinating about a man who had six wives and killed 2 of them. Anything from that time period is always fun to read about.

I am really interested in this era as there are does not seem to be as many books about this era in British history in comparison with the Tudor era. Looking forward to reading this book and thanks for the opportunity to win it!

I love reading anything historical. I suppose I'm really into reading about Nicholas II and Russia. Thank you for the contest!
ReplyDeleteI like reading about the Tudors the most. However, I have enjoyed reading about the Russian Tsars & their families as well.
ReplyDeletePlease count me in - Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about the victorian period.

The time of the Tudors is of interest to me but I've read soem books about others during that period so I'd be interested in reading more about other people from that period :)
