     2013 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
    
January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013
    
Hosted by Historical Tapestry

 

 

 

Seeing as the majority of books I read and review are Historical Fiction this challenge just makes sense!  This will be the 2nd year that I participate in this challenge.

The general rules are to read Historical Fiction – any subgenre of HF will do as well.  You can read the full details at the Historical Tapestry site.

I’m going to commit to the highest level – Ancient History - 25+ Books.
