Exit the Actress by Priya Parmar
The Tudor Secret by CW Gortner
Sins of the House of Borgia by Sarah Bower

Bride of the Spear by Kathleen Herbert (2nd in trilogy)
Secrets of the Tudor Court
The Divided Heart by Susan Bowden (court of Elizabeth I)
I signed up for a challenge over at Paperback Swap's Historical Fiction forum - The Biggest Book Loser. The premise is to see who can have the biggest "net" loss of books from the TBR pile. I don't know why I signed up - I mean, really, who am I kidding?? With my history, there's no way I will come close to winning!! Oh well, it should be fun...
I don't think we have a snowball's chance in h*** to win the contest, but it will be fun watching.

Ooh, I'd love to read all you got from author/publisher! Heard so much good about Exit the Actress.

I hope you enjoy your books!

That would be a hard challenge, I am going to have to find that on PBS. I didn't even know there were any challenges hosted on PBS, I need to explore more.

I doubt I'll win, either! I just hope I lose more books than I gain.

Misfit and Felicia - So far I'm down two - but it's early yet!! I"m also hoping that I lose more than I gain but I seriously have my doubts.
Kailana - now if I could just find the time to read them all!
Elysium - I had forgotten Exit the Actress was coming. Since I"m just finishing up The Darling Strumpet (also about Nell), I'll have to wait a month or so before I read this one.
Furry Reader - if you like historical fiction there is a HF forum at PBS - that's where this particular challenge is (although the challenge itself is not limited to historical fiction books)
