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'm not much of an historical fiction fan and hardly ever read them, but maybe if I'd read more I would become a fan. Good luck with the challenge.

    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.
