Chivalrous Deeds: A Historical Fiction Challenge

January 1, 2011-December 31, 2011

Holly of Bippity Boppity Book is hosting the Chivalrous Deeds: A Historical Fiction Challenge.  This is what she says:

I LOVE reading challenges and participate in several every year. For 2011 I decided to host my own-Chivalrous Deeds: A Historical Fiction Challenge!

The Object of the Challenge: As a Knight or Lady Knight, to visit as many courts as possible. For example, reading Victoria Victorious by Jean Plaidy would count as 1 visit/chivalrous deed achieved at the court of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Reading No Will But His by Sarah Hoyt would count as 1 visit/chivalrous deed achieved at the court of Catherine Howard and Henry VIII, etc...

Rules/Guidelines:
  1. You can visit any court from any point in history as long as the book you are reading is Historical Fiction
  2. You can visit the same court more than once but not consecutively. Knights and Lady Knights have many great deeds to perform and so must not tarry at one court for too long!
  3. No books started before 1 January 2011 will count for this challenge
  4. Participants can only win 1 prize in this challenge
  5. Entries will be counted by posting a link to your review of the book. You do not have to have a blog to participate as long as you are posting a review somewhere and can provide a link to it (Paperbackswap, Goodreads, Librarything etc...). I will add a place to post these links closer to the end of the year.
Duration: The Chivalrous Deeds Historical Fiction Challenge will begin 1 January 2011 and finish on 31 December 2011.

Prizes: I will be giving 2 prizes for this challenge.
  1. The person who reads the most books for this challenge will receive their choice of a book from the Book Depository not to exceed $20.
  2. The person who visits the greatest number of different courts during the challenge will receive a book of their choice from The Book Depository not to exceed $20.
