  2. Hi Dar,

    Sounds interesting, I followed the series on HBO THE TUDORS, liked it a lot

    Have a nice week

  3. Man, I love historicals. But I totally need to catch up on the stuff here before I enter contests.

    Anyway, I’m dropping in to say thanks for the e-mails. I’ve got this posted at Win a Book.

  4. Ooooh! Not only am I a historical fiction fan, but I’m a Tudor family groupie! 🙂 Despite that, my favorite historical fiction book is probably Katherine by Anya Seton. (Hey, she’s an ancestor of the Tudors.) Also, I just started following your blog, so I’m ready for my three chances! LOL. Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

  6. This book sounds really good! I love historical fiction.

  8. I’d love to be entered. I do follow your blog, but on google reader…I’m not sure if you meant that or the blogger widget, which I’ve been too lazy to install 😛 And my favourite historical novel…I think it’s Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. I just love that book to pieces. Thanks for the giveaway, Dar.

  13. Dar…please enter me, this sounds like such a good book! I think one of my favorites is more of a history of the culture, and that would be The Good Earth by Pearl Buck. I also am a follower.

  63. The Other Boleyn Girl (Hardcover)
    by Philippa Gregory (Author)

  65. Hi — please enter me into the drawing. I’m a subscriber through Google Reader. It’s nearly impossible for me to pick a favorite historical fiction work, but “The Far Pavillions” by M.M. Kaye ranks right up there.

  67. What can I say, I am a sucker for the books by Elisabeth Chadwick, and The Wild Hunt is one of my all time fav books 🙂
    So if it’s open internationally then I am all in

    Favourite historical fiction: Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray

    Already a follower!

    Thank you!

  72. I follow your blog and my favorite historical fiction is “The Other Boylen Girl” by Phillipa Gregory. “The Queen’s Fool” comes in a close second.

  73. Hi there. I will be following but first I want to tell everyone about a book called The Phoenix by Ruth Simms.

    I reviewed this novel on my blog http://sappho-sings.blogspot.com and I urge everyone to check that out. The novel is great. It kept me glued to the pages throughout [without any mental editing] and that’s a near impossible task for any writer. I’ve read too many and edited my own gibberish for much too long.

    Lately, I’ve taken to audio books just to allow myself to enjoy a good yarn without noting typos.

  74. Enter me please!

    Does historical fantasy count? I love The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray. But if not, I would say anything by Ann Rinaldi.

  75. I am a subscriber through Google Reader.

    I am a real sucker for books about King Henry VIII and all of his wives. I loved it when I got to visit where all of this took place in England. This is a book that I really would love to win.

    As for a historical novel, I really enjoyed reading “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.”

    Thank you,
