2012 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge



I'm joining the 2012 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge hosted by the team at Historical Tapestry. Isn't the button just absolutely gorgeous?! Some of the books I'll be reading have been languishing on my shelves for years either because I got distracted by something shiney and new or because (as with the Chadwick book) I think I'm going to love it so much, I can't even bear to begin it because I don't want the experience to end. Just go ahead and TRY to make sense of that!

Timeline: January 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012

Level: Undoubtedly Obsessed: 15 books O.K., so I probably should just commit to the most extreme level (Severe Bookaholism: 20 books), but I want to leave myself a little bit of wiggle room.

1. BECOMING MARIE ANTOINETTE by Juliet Grey
2. THE RIVER WIFE by Jonis Agee
3. BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY by Ruta Sepetys
4. QUEEN OF LAST HOPES by Susan Higginbotham
5. MADAME TUSSAUD by Michelle Moran
6. THE GREATEST KNIGHT by Elizabeth Chadwick
7. THE BIRTH HOUSE by Ami McKay
8. THE LOST SUMMER OF LOUISA MAY ALCOTT by Kelly O'Connor McNees
9. YOUNG BESS by Margaret Irwin
10. THE ROSE OF SEBASTOPOL by Katharine McMahon
11. THE OUTER BANKS HOUSE by Diann Ducharme
12. PEOPLE OF THE BOOK by Geraldine Brooks
13. THE ELEPHANT KEEPER by Christopher Nicholson
14. THE CROWN by Nancy Bilyeau
15. THE SEPTEMBER QUEEN by Gillian Bagwell

Wow - stopping by here is dangerous to the height of my TBR mountain! I think I'll just copy and paste your whole list into mine. Can't want to see some of your reviews.

I agree with Tina. Your list has just made mine bigger! You should include The Red Tent into your list if you haven't already read it!
