ABC Historical Fiction Challenge

I've discovered a great new challenge hosted by Historical Tapestry

The Alphabet in Historical Fiction Challenge
To participate, just follow the rules:

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.

Please check Historical Tapestry each 1st and 15th of the month to find out their new letter, and then link your post back to their page through Mr Linky . Then go 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.
