2013 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

 

The Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
is hosted by Historical Tapestry, and it goes from January 1, 2013
through December 31, 2013. I participated in this challenge last year
and ended up reading 13 historical fiction books so I am going to push
myself to read a few more this year.

I’m joining at the Ancient History level, which means I need to read at least 25 historical fiction books in 2013. I’ll keep track of them here.

***As of 11/5/13 I have completed this challenge. I will continue to track the books I read.

      Good luck with your goal, too! I am always looking for new HF books, so I will be checking out your list, too. I know this year, I have quite a few HF review books, which I am looking forward to reading.
