HISTORICAL READING FICTION CHALLENGE

I hadn't browsed through the Historical Tapestry blogsite for a week or so, and after catching up on the posts etc. decided to check out a couple of the other links.
What a great find - another person has on her blog a reading challenge.
The time frame is from the 1st April to the 1st October, and you select 6 books that you want to read, and then post a review of each of them.
Had quite a lot to choose from my list, so have selected the following, as they are available from my local library:

THE MANOR OF DEATH - Bernard KNIGHT
DAUGHTER OF YORK - Anne Easter SMITH
THE GOLDEN TULIP - Rosalind LAKER
SIMON THE COLDHEART - Georgette HEYER (this is on my bookshelf to read)
THE PROUD VILLEINS - Valerie ANNAND
THE ROBSART MYSTERY - Fiona BUCKLEY

I had selected other books, but these were not available from the library, but maybe later on they will become available:

WHY MERMAIDS SING - C S HARRIS
THE ALEHOUSE MURDERS - Maureen ASH
THE MAYFLOWER MAID - Sue ALLAN
THE TALE OF HILLTOP FARM - Sue Wittig ALBERT
WINTER IN MADRID - C J SANSOM
AN INCOMPLETE REVENGE - Jacqueline WINSPEAR

The Historical Novel society publications have numerous listings, and as I read through each journal, make a note of the books that I would like to read, so had plenty to choose from.

I don't think that I will ever run out of books to read, especially now that there are so many wonderful book blogs on the net.

the site for this challenge is http://readingwritinggranting.blogspot.com/
