  • everyone can participate, even those who don't have a blog (you can add your book title and thoughts in the comment section if you wish) 
  • 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) 
  • any kind of historical fiction is accepted (HF fantasy, HF young adult,...)"
