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.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
