Wow! What a start to the year for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge! There were more than 150 reviews linked to the challenge during January alone! I wonder if we can maintain that kind of number each month for the rest of the year? It's a tall ask, but it would be awesome if we could! Of course, I could help by actually writing some reviews, but let's not talk about that for the moment!
If you haven't already signed up, it's not too late! The sign up post is here.
Just to recap what participants need to know. At the beginning of each month we will put up a post which will have a Mr Linky embedded into it for you to add your link.
Please remember...
- add the link(s) of your review(s) including your name and book title to the Mister Linky we’ll be adding to our monthly post (please, do not add your blog link, but the correct address that will guide us directly to your review). A direct link to your Goodreads review is also acceptable
- any kind of historical fiction is accepted (fantasy, young adult, graphic novels...)
- if you have time, have a look some of the other links that are present. You never know when you will discover new blogs or books!
Please leave your links for your February 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 January, please post it on this Mr. Linky in this post.
First for Feb is "Fallen Angel". I've now set up my own blog for reviews - Caz's Reading Room so will now link there instead of to Goodreads.
ReplyDeleteSo with this entry my first challenge this year is complete now. What a feeling...:)
ReplyDeleteShall I now post my link somewhere else for completing the challenge?
First book of February: Shadow of Night: Book 2 of the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Even though the first book in this trilogy wasn't historical fiction I'm counting the second book as HF due to the fact that we spent our entire time in 16th century Europe.
ReplyDeleteI linked to The Forty Rules of Love on here; half of it takes place in 13th century Turkey and half of it takes place in the modern day - does that still count? If not, please take it off - I'm good with either way, I just know sometimes I seem to be more strict about what I consider historical fiction than others so I figured I'd add it.
ReplyDeleteWas disappointed in my February historical fiction book, The Whiskey Rebels, by David Liss, but pleased that I am 2 for 2 in 2013!
ReplyDeleteBlue Asylum-an okay book, but I think I would have preferred it if it were longer.
ReplyDeleteMy second book linked in February--yeah, I love historical fiction!
ReplyDeleteJust read a fabulous book--The Shoemaker's Wife!!
ReplyDeleteThe Kingmaking-really loved this one! I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.
ReplyDeleteSong of the Nile-really great! I can't wait until the third book comes out.
ReplyDeleteFebruary wasn't up yet when I posted this and I forgot to come back and check until now, so I've just added my HF book review from February.
