Another good month for links in November means that we will most likely be surpassing the number of review links that we have had for previous years of the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge! Amazing! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the success of the challenge! The challenge will be happening again next year. Keep an eye up for the sign up post soon. It will have a similar format to this year so hopefully you will have all enjoyed your reading experience so much this year that you will be wanting to join in next year again!
If you haven't already signed up for this year's challenge, it's not too late! (Well, it probably is but maybe you have lots of reading time during December!) 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 December 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 October, please post it on the Mr. Linky in this post.
I need to start with an apology this month, and then some news! Apology first though. I am really, really sorry that I didn't end up putting up the link for the October reviews. I know that I thought about doing it at the end of September but then I had a lot going on and a houseguest for a month and I never actually did more than think about it. I didn't actually realise this until late in October by which time I thought it best just to put the November link up and leave October go! Thankfully, despite my slackness, there were still lots of links added to the last post so now we have well and truly gone past the 1000 reviews posted mark for this year! Amazing! I mentioned some news. Although I haven't done anything about organising the challenge for next year, I am intending that the challenge will run again next year, probably in a similar format to this year although there will possibly be a change of location, but I will confirm this and get up a signup post early in December.

May was another great month in the challenge with more than 100 reviews linked up which means that we already have more than 600 reviews connected up for the challenge so far this year! Wow! What an awesome effort from all of the challenge participants!

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date! It's been a busy week in my world and I completely forgot to do this post! Sorry everyone! Once again though we had another great month in the challenge with 136 reviews linked up which means that we already have more than 500 reviews connected up for the challenge so far this year! Wow! What an awesome effort from all of the challenge participants!

Whoops! I am falling down on the job! Completely forgot to post this on 1 March! My apologies for being a couple of days late!
Once again we had another great month in the challenge with 130 reviews linked up! Wow! What a start to the year for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge! There are now more than 280 reviews linked to the challenge during January and February! 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!

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.

I hope that you all enjoy your participation in the 2013 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.
We are excited to announce that the we will again be hosting the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge in 2013, and we hope that you are all excited at the prospect of joining in.
The challenge will run in the same way as it has over the last couple of years that we have hosted the challenge. The only thing that has changed is the names of the categories.
Here are the details:
Each month, a new post dedicated to the HF Challenge will be created. To participate, you only have to follow the rules:

You can tailor the challenge to suit you in whichever way you like! For example, I know of one participant who over the last couple of years has only read historical mysteries as it suits their own reading tastes!
