Historical Fiction Challenge 2012

Posted on 6:00 AM by Unknown

Historical Fiction Challenge 2012
January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012
Hosted by Historical Tapestry

I didn’t participate in the Historical Fiction Challenge last year because it felt like a shoe in – but I missed participating in it, so I’m back in it for 2012!

The general goal is to read any sort of historical fiction – subgenres count too!

I’m going to shoot for the Severe Bookaholism (20 Books). I probably will easily meet this and exceed it.

I will show my progress below:

1. Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead
2. Look to the East by Maureen Lang
3. Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie by Kristiana Gregory
4. The Winter of Red Snow by Kristiana Gregory
5. Alcestis by Katherine Beutner
6. The Sister Queens by Sophie Perinot
7. The King's Agent by Donna Russo Morin
8. I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly by Kristiana Gregory
9. The House I Loved by Tatiana de Rosnay
10. The Far Side of the Loch (Martha Years Book 2) by Melissa Wiley
11. The Girl in the Blue Beret by Bobbie Ann Mason
12. Written in the Ashes by K. Hollan van Zandt
13. Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran
14. The Queen's Vow by C.W. Gortner
15. A Night to Remember by Walter Lord
16. My Secret War by Mary Pope Osborne
17. Her Highness, the Traitor by Susan Higginbotham
18. Ellis Island by Kate Kerrigan
19. The Ruins of Lace by Iris Anthony
20. The Age of Desire by Jennie Fields

Completed 9/12/12
