The Historical Fiction Challenge-May Reviews

In April, we collectively read 68 books! That makes our total for 2011 so far, 334 books!

There is still time to join the challenge, go to Historical Fiction Reading Challenge to sign up and then come back to leave your links each month.  There is a new post for your links each month.

Please leave your links for your May reviews in Mr. Linky, below or, if you don't have a blog, in the comments below.

*Note: if you missed posting your links last month, please always post "late" links in the current month's Mr. Linky.  For example, if you forgot to post a link in February, please post it on this Mr. Linky in this post.

  1. I tried to post my last April review very early on May 1st, but I couldn't click the link. I've come back several times, but it's still not clickable. Should I just add it to the May linky?

  2. I couldn't post anything on the April link, either, so I am afraid I am going to flood the May one. :)

  6. Michelle and Lieder, please just post them in May. Once a new month is posted with a new Mr. Linky, the old one won't work.

  15. I've participated in this challenge since January... but completely forgot to link up my posts! They're now on the linky list - Dawn, The Heretic's Daughter, and The Very Thought of You.

    Looks like we have a pretty good list growing for May - looking forward to reading through the posts!

    Take care & happy reading,

  24. I added my list of books read for May. I'm working on a TBR list for June but the library is being very slow in getting books to me.

  25. I have just posted the link to my review of Caleb's Crossing. Seems like it was a popular one this month. I began the book in May even though I finished in June so it will just have to go here since the June link is not up yet. This is my 9th read in the challenge. I am on my way to my goal of 20 for the year. I am pretty excited about that.

    I have a great interview with Lauren Belfer about her novel A Fierce Radiance on my blog. It's one my favorite historical fiction reads this year so far.
