Sneak peek at October 2017 new royalty books

Not since December have I been able to feature so many books in a sneak peek! And this is just a sampling of what publishers have in store for royal watchers next month. (As always, publication dates are subject to change.)

The Crown by Robert Lacey. The official companion to the Netflix drama about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

If I could only read one of the books listed above, I would have to pick So Great a King because of my addiction to books about Henry VIII. Which book would you choose?
