Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

 

Marg at The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader will be hosting the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge this year. I haven't participated in a historical reading challenge for a while, but I've gotten into a couple of series and thought I might as well jump into a challenge while I'm at it. If historical fiction is your thing (or you'd like to see if it is), take a peek at the details at the link above.

I'm going to sign up for the Victorian Reader level (5 books). I may wind up venturing further, but if I reach my initial goal then I will claim the challenge complete
