Over at Historically Obsessed, Lizzy J has shared a link of an interview with author Christine Trent in the Washington Post! Have to say, I want Christine Trent's library!

Allie from Hist-Fic Chick has another giveaway on her blog, this time for three copies of Prima Donna: a Novel by Megan Chance.

Teddy Rose is hosting a giveaway of The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. Teddy (as in Historical Tapestry's very own Teddy) has also been undergoing a bit of a makeover at her blog so stop by and have a look!

The Historical Fiction Round Table is kicking off it's next event, this time for Robin Maxwell, and her upcoming release, O Juliet. I am sure there will be plenty of giveaways during the event. The first giveaway that I have seen is over at Historical-Fiction.com, where Arleigh is giving away a number of books from Robin Maxwell's backlist.
