Are you prepared to run it? Yes
Suggested books: Not sure -- this would be done only after the community had been going for a year or two, and we'd probably take suggestions and run a poll for examples of historical fiction that gets the period in question all wrong.

The books would have to be otherwise-well-written and/or popular books, to make them particularly egregious.

We'd read them and discuss what makes a book "WRONG", and what mistakes are forgivable. Is a mention of potatoes in Roman Britain enough to condemn a book? Etc.
