Feed your reading habit!
I know there are people out there who like to read actual books as well as the pithy wit and wonder that is posted here at LJ, so I thought I might point any who are interested to a new book reviewing blog.
Romantic Historical Fiction Lovers is dedicated to reviewing novels that have both a strong historical content as well as a dash of romance. We're not doing "straight" historical fiction or "straight" romantic fiction - there's got to be a good mix of both.
There's already a RHFL group over at Goodreads and the group "owner" suggested setting up a review blog specifically for this genre. There's so much of it, especially with the explosion of self-published titles and reissues that have been encouraged by the growth in the e-book market, that it's sometimes bewildering where to turn for your next read! You don't want to waste you time or your money, so you get to the point where you take recommendations from friends, or reviewers you trust - but even then, there's the chance you might miss a gem or two I know I've found a few titles via the RFHL Goodreads group that I might otherwise not have read.
The blog has been up and running for a couple of weeks and yours truly has already contributed a few reviews. So if you're interested in that genre of fiction and want to pop over to look for some inspiration, please do! And for anyone reading this who wants to submit anything for review, all the details are on the blog.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject of Goodreads, if anyone here also has a presence over there, please come to say hello! (I'm Caz over there - original, I know.)
