You know what I just love about the internet? It’s such a nerdy place. I love that there are so many other people who are so passionate about books and history, hence TudorTember. I’m not surprised if you have no idea what I’m talking about. It seems to me to be a very niche thing, but here’s the gist:
TudorTember is a month-long celebration of Tudor history. It happens starting September 1st and continues the entire month. It’s a time to read Tudor books and just all-around gush and divulge in one’s nerdy love for Tudor history. I don’t know how popular it is among bloggers as it did originate on YouTube from one of my favorites, Lil’s Vintage World. I am really excited to see what videos Lil creates for the month, and I’m looking forward to participating this year just like I did last year (or possibly the year before, not sure).
Admittedly, I don’t see myself reading many Tudor-related books. Honestly I’ll probably complete one book while also still making progress through another. However, there are some things I’d like to watch that I’ve wanted to watch for a long time.
Here are my reading plans:
At the top of my list is Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir. I recently acquired my own copy of this book as I’ve been interested in it for a couple of years now. This book is about Lady Jane Grey, the ‘9-day Queen.’
The other book I hope to make more progress in is Mary, Queen of Scots & the Murder of Lord Darnley. I’ve recently started reading this and I’m very interested, but I don’t see myself finishing it any time soon.
As for what I’d like to watch, I have one movie that I hope to finally tick off the list. That is The Other Boleyn Girl. This has been on my watchlist for ages. I read half of the book before I lost interest and abandoned it years ago, but I’m still very interested in the movie.
As for other things I’d like to watch, I want to finish the series Walking Tudor England, and I may watch a few episodes of Reign here and there as that is one of my favorite shows.
Now that I’ve thoroughly proven myself to be a nerd, I’d love to know if you’re interested in Tudor History. Do you have any recommendations?
