Passages to the Past Holiday Blog Hop!


*** Guys, I am an idiot. I mistakenly made the Rafflecopter raffle end at 12:01 on 12/17 instead of 11:59 and I cannot change it because Rafflecopter now charges to change times on raffles. This is totally a my bad! If you would like to still enter my giveaway today until 11:59 EST, please leave a comment below with a way to contact you. Remember, you must be a follower and a US resident to win. If you have been tweeting each day, you can still tweet and it will count but make sure you leave the link to your tweet in a comment.***

The lovely Amy over at Passages to the Past has set up this fabulous blog hop, which is perfect for my fellow historical fiction lovers!

  1. This is more of a memoir than historical fiction, but Shigeru Mizuki put out a great graphic novel called Nonnonba about folklore and growing up in 1930s Japan. He makes all the monsters and spirits real, so I guess that counts as fiction.
