First, an apology.  I am so sorry for the lateness of this posting.  I totally forgot!

In March, we collectively read 118 books! That makes our total for 2011 so far, 266 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 April 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.

  2. Zemindar by Valerie Fitzgerald was an oldie but goodie and one of the best books I've read in a long time! Highly recommended!

  6. I remembered to put up some of my links before month's end! Very proud of myself- this challenge is encouraging me to read and purchase LOTS of historical fiction.

  7. I posted Maid to Match, by Deeanne Gist, earlier in the month. Sliding in here with a second review for April. The Dawn of a Dream is Ann Shorey's third book in the At Home in Beldon Grove series, but all these books, while related, can stand on their own and be read out of order. I met with Ann on Saturday at a book signing, and have included photos from the signing in my review. Come on over and learn about Ann's series, set in the antebellum 1800s.

  12. I read the most books in April so far, just when I have the most school work to do. Coincidence? I think not.

  13. Posted my link to review of Jane and the Genius of the Place, by Stephanie Barron. Filled with the "improvement of the estate" and other gentlemanly pursuits, it is another great Austen-inspired mystery in this series.

  14. I posted a link to my review of Wickham's Diary, by Amanda Grange. Jane Austen's bad boy from Pride and Prejudice gets his own story.

  15. I just posted my review of Judy Blundell's What I Saw and How I Lied. My 6th book in the challenge.
