Hosted by Amy at Passages to the Past this historical fiction challenge has several reading levels. There are monthly check ins with links to post your reading progress and reviews.
I am going for The Victorian Reader. I love historical fiction, but find that most of my review commitments are for other genres.
20th Century Reader – 2 books
Victorian Reader – 5 books
Renaissance Reader – 10 books
Medieval – 15 books
Ancient History – 25 books
Prehistoric – 50+ books
The challenge runs from January 1 – December 31, 2019
Guidelines:
- Choose your level.
- Read any sub-genre of historical fiction (Historical Romance, Historical Mystery, Historical Fantasy, etc.)
- You don’t need a blog to participate.
- There will be a monthly link for reviews.
In Social Media, be sure to use this hashtag: #2019HistFicReadingChallenge

Thanks Tina. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction novels but when I do I usually enjoy them.

5 seems like a reasonable commitment! Trying really hard to fight the urge to do challenges this year. I’m always attracted to tons of them, and then I never finish even one (well, except the GR challenge). If I can manage to finish the one that I’ve committed to this year, I’ll toy with doing one like this next year!
I’d wish you good luck, but I don’t think you need it. 😉

This sounds like fun and I want to join. I sent a question to Amy about clarification on what books qualify. For example, I think Barbara Tuchman writes great historical fiction as she personifies events but I am sure she classified herself as a historian, not a writer of historical fiction. Hilary Mantel was a bit more forthright in pointing out her strong adherence to historical accuracy with Wolf Hall but admitted when an author creates dialogue there must necessarily be fiction.

Yayyy, great to have you join in. I think you might read more than that, you tend to read some good Historical Fiction dual timeline things that have tempted me over the years. Good Luck Lynne.
