Why am I doing this challenge?
I am a Tudor fanatic. Sadly, my Tudor-related reading declined last year, so I thought that this would be the perfect way to get back into the Tudor-reading groove! Plus, I need to tackle Tudor-To-Be-Read Pile, which is pictured below!

Thanks so much for joining, Angela Renee!
I love your photo of your TBR pile - I have the same mug, but not the Henry VIII figurine! He looks so cool! Thanks for sharing that.
