The Historical Fiction Reading Challenge is hosted by Amy at Passages to the Past.
Here are the details of the challenge:
The challenge runs from January 1st to December 31st, 2020.
Each month, a new post dedicated to the HF Challenge will be created.
Everyone can participate! If you don’t have a blog you can post a link to your review if it’s posted on Goodreads, Facebook, or Amazon, or you can add your book title and thoughts in the comment section if you wish.
Add the link(s) of your review(s) including your name and book title to the Mister Linky we’ll be adding to our monthly post (please use the direct URL that will guide us directly to your review)
Any sub-genre of historical fiction is accepted (Historical Romance, Historical Mystery, Historical Fantasy, Young Adult, History/Non-Fiction, etc.)
Also there are the following different reading levels to choose from:
20th Century Reader – 2 books
Victorian Reader – 5 books
Renaissance Reader – 10 books
Medieval – 15 books
Ancient History – 25 books
Prehistoric – 50+ books
I am aiming for the Ancient History level, because last year I read 23 historical fiction novels, so I think that should be manageable.
