I have a few really good blogger friends, Sab from YA Bliss happens to be one of the very best!
In all her genius Sab has taken it upon herself to create a YA Historical Fiction Challenge for 2011!
I am really excited, and planning to take on at least 15 historical fiction books this year.
The books don’t have to be released in 2011, just read this year. Read the original post HERE.

Thanks for mentioning Lily of the Nile on your wishlist ;)
Sab- happy to, girlfriend!
Stephanie- I am physced to read and review your book. Let me know if you would be interested in an author interview or giveaway, I would be honored to host you!
Hi! I loved Margaret George's Helen of Troy. If you are interested in that era you might want to consider PENELOPE'S DAUGHTER, my new historical novel for Penguin/Berkley. It tells the story of the Odyssey from the women's point of view.
Laurel- I would love to read and review your book, e-mail me at BellaCarolina33@aim.com so we can discuss it.
