Each month, Alaine from Queen of Happy Endings runs a giveaway, and a lot of the time there are historical fiction novels included as at least some of the offerings. This month is no exception with The Distant Hours by Kate  Morton and Fall of Giants amongst the options.

The Austenesque Review is about to celebrate its first anniversary, and to celebrate there is a copy of Jane Austen: An Illustrated Treasury by Rebecca Dickson being given away.

The September event for the Historical Fiction Blogger's Round Table has begun, and I am delighted to see that it is featuring Susan Holloway Scott whose latest novel is The Countess and the King. There will be six chances to win copies of the book, the first of which is at Hist-Fic Chick (or perhaps I should say the first I've seen!)

On September 1 it would have been Jean Plaidy's 104th birthday. Over at Jean Plaidy's Royal Intrigue they are celebrating, and you could win a copy of Madonna of the Seven Hills as a result!

Other giveaways:

For the King's Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick (2 copies) at Reading the Past
The de Lacy Inheritance by Elizabeth Ashworth at Passages to the Past
The Queen's Captive by Barbara Kyle (2 copies) at Passages to the Past
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel at The Burton Review and at Tudor Book Blog
