We are very happy to announce the celebration of Historical Tapestry's 2nd Anniversary! During these past twelve months we've posted reviews, shared guest posts and interviews with historical fiction authors and blogger - the Why I Love posts - started a news feature - HT News - and recently had another HT Season, this time for Jean Plaidy - and generally had a wonderful time chatting about books with you all.
For the future we are planning a few more features, we would like to mention more historical fiction set in far away places, to start an upcoming releases monthly post and some other projects that are still being juggled about in our heads.
To celebrate our 2nd Blogiversary we would like to share with you some of the reading copies we received along this year and that ended up being among our favourite reads. There's nothing like sharing good reads is there? Please note that the books may have already been read by us once and that some may be signed by the author. Leave a comment on this post if you want to win one of the following books:
Alexander Baricco - Silk
Eva Etzioni-Halevy - The Triumph of Deborah
Kate Grenville - The Lieutenant
Susanna Kearsley - Sophia's Secret
Please specify which books you are entering the draw for (you can enter for as many as you like though!)
During these next few days we will have 3 Why I Love posts from special guest authors, and a poll about what you like the most on the blog. There will also be an opportunity to suggest new features you would like to see here. We hope you like what we have prepared and good luck for the giveaway! It will end on July 11th so you have a week to enter and we will announce the winners on July 12th.
Your review of The Triumph of Deborah had me hooked. I'd love to win it. then read it. Thanks for sharing~

ReplyDeleteI also just wanted to say that I really loved reading all your Jean Plaidy reviews from various bloggers. I found a few of hers that I hadn't heard of and am looking forward to reading!

By a HAPPY coincidence, I discovered this website. I am just finishing the 4-book series, THE CAZALET CHRONICLES, by Elizabeth Jane Howard. Having identified the kinds of books that I most love, I was looking for my next read. I decided to google "family sagas +historical fiction". Up came "WHY I LOVE SAGAS" on this website. What a joyful discovery. I intend to check back often. And, if I should win SOPHIA'S SECRET or THE TRIUMPH OF DEBORAH, I would be most grateful. Still, having found this website, I already feel like a WINNER!
