Historical Fiction Reading Challenge - May links



 Thank you to everyone who contributed a review in April for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge. Currently there are more than 50 links! I will be back next week with all the statistics for the month!

I am looking forward to reading your reviews throughout the rest of the year! I am sure there is going to be a lot of great historical fiction discovered and shared with fellow HF lovers over the course of this year!

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 I 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!

You can also join the challenge group on Facebook which you can find here and don't forget to use the #histficreadingchallenge hashtag on the socials.

Let the reading begin!!


If you have any more links to add please add them to the June post which is here

  1. OOps. I put the name of my review instead of the name of the book - Dressed for Espionage? is my review for "The Kennedy Girl"!

    1. No problem. I will pick it up when I go through all the links to do the stats

  2. How old does the setting need to be to be considered historical fiction? I just added the link to a review for This Promised Land, which takes place in the 1990s.
