This past Thursday, September 19th, I posted the first substantive post on my new blog: My Historical Fiction Reviews. I read a lot of historical fiction; not only do I enjoy the genre but I also write in it, currently the mid 1800s for novel set in Camanche, Iowa.
Sometimes, I find it hard to recall what I learned from or what each story was about so I decided I should keep a detailed book-reading journal. And then I thought I'll need to organize these in some way where perhaps I could search them for specific details. I could do that in a Word document, but what if my computer crashes? I'd need to create a back-up plan, etc., etc. Then I thought, why not share my thoughts on the historical fiction I read in a blog?
That way, theoretically anyway, I have people counting on me to post a review once a month so I'll be motivated to do it. And then I'll have a mechanism for searching them and they'll be backed up on the web. Voila! A blog was born.
My first post is about The Union Quilters by Jennifer Chiaverini. Click here to check it out.
Thanks for looking!

P.S. If you have a historical fiction book you'd like me to consider for a free review, describe it in an email sent to me at jodie@wordsywoman.com and I'll let you know if I'm interested and where to send the review copy (print or digital).
