What a great idea that Holly had for hosting a Historical Fiction focused blog hop!! I have seen many many blog hops, but not one focused on my favorite genre!
Can’t wait to clear off some shelves!
YAY!
I want one easy squeezy box to ship out.. Who wants to take these off my hands?
One Lucky Historical Fiction lover will receive all of the following:
Kate Emerson’s At The King’s Pleasure
Catherine Delors’ For the King
Cassandra Clark’s A Parliament of Spies
Sandra Worth’s Pale Rose of England
Michelle Moran’s Madame Tussaud
Linda Urbach’s Madame Bovary’s Daughter
Rosemary Rogers’ The Wildest Heart
John J. Miller’s The First Assassin
CW Gortner’s Confessions of Catherine de Medici
Sherry Jones’ Four Sister All Queens
TEN Books!
These are all Used Galleys or advance readers copies available to bloggers. I realize that many of you may have your own copy of at least one of these, but perhaps you have a friend to pass them along to. It is much easier for me to put them all in one box, and frankly I just kept going till the box was full. Their condition is used and are good reading copies.
These are all Historical Fiction, one historical romance, a few historical mysteries… a great mix in my opinion!
So.. if you would like to win this box of ten books, comment here with your email address and tell me which ones caught your eye enough to make you want to enter the contest. It would also be very nice of you if you could tweet or facebook this giveaway, and of course I would LOVE it if you would follow!!!
Giveaway ends 8/30/2012. Open to US followers of Burton Book Review.
Don’t forget to follow:

So many great books, so hard to specify which one drew me to enter–Gortner, Moran, Jones–these 3 immediately leap out. I also participated in the blog hop–so glad to visit you again.
Actually the Rosemary Rogers book perked by interest.

Hi this is Elizabeth from http://booksalicious.blogspot.com/ I love the whole list, but the ones that really caught my eye were Kate Emerson's At the King's Pleasure, Michelle Moran's Madame Tussaud and Linda Urbach's, Madame Bovary's Daughter, partly because I love these author's and because I have heard very good reviews of these books; and would love to get my hands on them. Also I wanted to say Marie, your website and reviews have helped keep my spirits up this month. I've been in and out of the hospital and reading has really helped, I know you've had a hard month too, and just wanted to let you know, you're blogging really helps lift you're readers spirits. Thanks for the give-away chance =)Liz email – elizabethbrown918@gmail.com
All of these sound really good. I'm familiar with a few of the titles, but I just love historical fiction in general. Thanks for the giveaway!Kim kimberlyhathorn@bellsouth.net
What! TEN books! Whoo-hoo! Cassandra Clark's A Parliament of Spies is the book that caught my eye but then I suddenly wanted all of them and that's good news because if I win, I get them lolCharliebitsyblingbooks at gmail dot com
Emerson's and Gortner's books really draw my eye, since I've already read Madame Tussaud.booklove at sawcatsverse dot com
Hi Marie,Thanks so much for posting this giveaway! I would love to get my hands on "Madame Tussad" by Michelle Moran. She is one of my favorite authors, and this one was definitely one of her best!Cheers,Tiffanykohlert@mail.gvsu.edu
Wow, 10 books all at once! I say that all 10 caught my eye, not just one. I am leading a Mission Trip to South America in March of next year and part of our trip is to build and stock libraries in some of the villages we visit. These 10 (and any other you would like to donate) would be terrific for our trip. If you know any other bloggers who would be interested in donating some books, please have them contact me too.librarybooks at religious dot com

Historical fiction is a time where we see a different perspective and then we see just how wonderful and human and realizable these characters are,many of these characters are pawns or playing the pawns but you see and feel just how human these people are. Solomonmoriah@rocketmail.comI hope i win Historical fiction is what got me interested in reading in the first place….
Sorry Moriah, you're almost a year late =)I agree, HF is so vast I'll never get bored reading it.
