Already love historical fiction, so why not? I found this great challenge from Historical Tapestry:
After 3 years organizing the Historical Fiction Challenge, the girls of The Royal Reviews gracefully passed over this exciting event to our team at Historical Tapestry. We will do our best to continue doing a great job and create a wonderful place to share and discuss our favourite (and less favourite) historical fiction books for the next year.
Each month, a new post dedicated to the HF Challenge will be created. To participate, you only have to follow the rules:
- everyone can participate, even those who don't have a blog (you can add your book title and thoughts in the comment section if you wish)
- add the link(s) of your review(s) including your name and book title to the Mister Linky we’ll be adding to our monthly post (please, do not add your blog link, but the correct address that will guide us directly to your review)
- any kind of historical fiction is accepted (HF fantasy, HF young adult,...)
- you can overlap this challenge with others kind of challenges
- During these following 12 months you can choose one of the different reading levels:
- Severe Bookaholism: 20 books
- Undoubtedly Obsessed: 15 books
- Struggling the Addiction: 10 books
- Daring & Curious: 5 books
- Out of My Comfort Zone: 2 books
I have decided not to overdo the challenge and sign up for the "Struggling the Addiction" level of 10 books. My choices are (with any cross listings):
- Dragonwyck - Anya Seton
- The Winthrop Woman - Anya Seton
- Roses - Leila Meacham
- City of Glory - Beverly Swerling
- Bellfield Hall - Anna Dean
- The Poison Maiden - Paul Doherty
- The Six Wives of Henry VIII - Alison Weir
- The First Princess of Wales - Karen Harper (A to Z: H)
- North and South - Elizabeth Gaskell (TwentyEleven: Way Back When; Pages to Screen)
- The White Mare - Jules Watson
As usual, reviews will follow each book read. Looking forward to stepping into the past.
