Over at Historical Tapestry, we are hosting this fun challenge. Thanks to the inspiration of Kerrie’s Alphabet in Crime Fiction, we are doing the same challenge but with historical fiction.
Of course, I have to participate in this one, being an historical fiction fanatic and a member of Historical Tapestry. LOL!
Here’s how it works:
Each fortnight you have to write a blog post about an historical fiction book of your choice (it might even be something you already read before), but it MUST be related to the letter of the week.
You have several possibilities:
– the first letter of the title
– the first letter of the author’s first name or surname
– the first letter of a character’s first name or surname
– the first letter of a place where an historical event took place
You just have to choose one of them and participate.
Check in at Historical Tapestry on the 1st and 15th of every month to find out the letter for that episode, then link your post through Mr Linky at their site. Finally, come and check to see who else has posted and visit their blog to find out all the details of the book they were reading.
You have until the end of each fortnight to complete your mission.
The first letter in the challenge is.. you guessed it:
