Happy Fifth Anniversary of My Blog!

Today marks five years since I began this blog! In that time, I have read a LOT of books, and it has been a tremendous honor to have readers who like my reviews! I have also had the honor to interview some of my favorite authors and host guest posts from the leaders in historical fiction. I sincerely appreciate the readers, authors, publishers, and anyone else who has helped the success of this blog. Here's to plenty more years of celebrating women in history!
