I was aiming to reach the Medieval Level – 15 books, but exceeded that so next year I’ll be aiming to reach the Ancient History Level – 25 books – and to review all of them!
Well done, Margaret! This is an impressive group of books! I especially like that they’re from different periods of history. I think that gives a wider perspective. And I’ve gotten some good ideas for books to read, too!

I echo the “well done!” You’ve several on your list that (The Librarian; Gabriel’s Moon & The Seeker of Lost Paintings) I’ve been meaning to check out. I’ve read Fire From Heaven & Circe and enjoyed them both.
