Welcome to the Partial to the Past Historical Fiction Giveaway Hop, hosted by Bippity Boppity Book. This giveaway hop runs from August 24th through August 30th. Please check out the other participants in the hop for great historical fiction giveaways.
I will have two Giveaways. Make sure you read the instructions and only enter where appropriate, and fully follow instructions. One is US Only, the other is open Internationally.
A Signed First Edition of Jacqueline Winspear's The Mapping of Love and Death.
I came across this on sale at my local Barnes and Noble, so I will only send it to addresses in the US.
a Rafflecopter giveaway Giveaway #2: International
For this giveaway you have your choice of your choice historical fiction valued at $15 or less US. This is open Internationally so long as The Book Depository ships to your country. If the winner has an e-reader and prefers it, I'll gift them the ebook format (only for Kindle, Nook or Kobo ebook users). Not sure on which historical fiction title you'd like? Check out my Historical Fiction shelf on Goodreads.
The book chosen must be in the historical fiction genre (adult or young adult). By historical fiction, it needs to be set in the 1960s or earlier, and the time period featured noticeably (I would not consider books like The Night Circus historical fiction since while the author might state a year it starts in, there is no other evidence of a historical setting).

Oops, doing this in the wrong order, have to comment again. Sorry! Last historical novel I really enjoyed was The Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory and one I'm looking forward to reading soon is Spirit of Lost Angels by Liza Perrat.
I recently read The Bungalow by Sarah Jio and loved it. I'm really looking forward to the author's new book Blackberry Winter which is coming out in Sept.
Ooh you're doing a book hop! Super exciting!!! The last historical fiction novel that I loved has been Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. I'm so glad that this was suggested as a BOTM at Shelfari because I wouldn't have picked it up.
I just finished The Assassin's Wife and loved it. I am looking forward to the paperback edition of The Crown (heard so many good things about it)
Just read The Lifeboat- very enjoyable and kept me guessing all the way through.

That's Weller without the q, LOL!
I recently read The Queen's Vow: A Novel of
Isabella Of Castile by C.W Gortner. That was a good read.
I enjoyed reading The Book Thief. Now I'm looking forward to read The Sealed Letter.
I'm looking forward to read Pride and Prejudice in English since I've never read HF in English before since my English is not that great. :)
When I was in my teens, the Mrs. Peabody series was my favorite. Then I can remember picking up Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett when I was 20 and it was incredible. Since then, I can't break free of hte historical fiction grip.
Pride & Prejudice in England
The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran was the last one that I read that I absolutely adored! This one and Posie Graeme-Evans' War of the Roses series are my favourite historicals :)
I really liked reading Paper Woman by Suzanne Adair. It's set in American Revolutionary times in the South and combines a lot of genres and is a great book!
I really loved La Nuit du Sérail by Michel de Grèce ! It's set in the 1800's and tells the story of Nakshidil, a French girl who became Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. It is about a real person, but very little is known about her, so it is not entirely fiction. It's definitely my favourite historical novel! I'm also beginning to read The Sealed Letter, and I like it a lot already.
I'm looking forward to reading Tides of War.
I just read Lust For Life by Irving Stone (about the life of Vincent Van Gogh), and love it so much!
I'd like to read the one about the four sisters, four queens.
I just read The Virgin Blue & Girl With A Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, really love it, I'm gonna read at last half of my TBR Pile this year on hisfic genre too :D
Madame Tussaud is the last I really enjoyed although I've read several since this book.
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Just finished Pride and Prejudice and looking forward to read another Jane Austen's book ^^
