Historical Fiction Reading Challenge for 2022
( and a roundup of the 2021 books)

 I will be signing up for the 2022 Historical Fiction Reader Challenge hosted by Marg at Intrepid Reader

Last year I opted for the Medieval level but this year I am going to bump it up to Ancient History for 25 books.  I did come close this year so I'll shoot for more historical fiction next year.

    I didn’t quite make my goal ofAncient this year, which surprised me a little but I’ll keep the same goal for 2022

    I doubt I'll join, but I do love historical fiction (especially historical mysteries) and will keep an eye on your suggestions. I loved News of the World!

      Jenclair, the historical mysteries are my favorite. Oh yeah, News of the World was so good. I bought more of her books.

    I signed up for this for 2022. I stayed away from challenges for a couple of years, but I decided this was a good year to get them back into my life.
