It appears I have a bit of thing for Historical Fiction set in England! What are some of your favorite historical settings?
I love historical fiction. I must add some of these to my TBR list. Great list!
I'm liking historical fiction set in England a lot these days too, my last few reads have been Regency and 1930's country house tales. Nice list of books!
I am so lame. I have read exactly 2 of these, although I do own about 6 more. I want to read so many of these historical books, they just end up getting pushed down my TBR list.

I love European historicals, esp. Russian and set during the WWII/Shoah era. I also love Japanese historicals and really need to seek out more of them. It would also be nice to find more historicals set in Africa, and to get reacquainted with 18th and 19th century American historicals.
I haven't read any of these yet, but I recently won a copy of The Girl with the Iron Touch. I can't wait to read that series.
