Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 2022

Marg of the Intrepid Reader blog is hosting the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge of 2022.  Here are the goals Marg suggested:

• 20th Century Reader ~ 2 books
• Victorian Reader ~ 5 books
• Renaissance Reader ~ 10 books
• Medieval ~ 15
• Ancient History ~ 25 books
• Prehistoric ~ 50+ books

I know I'll read a lot more than 50 books in a year's time, but it is not at all likely that they will all be historical fiction.  So I will aim lower and hope I guess fewer historical fiction than I actually read next year.  Let's see, maybe Renaissance Reader, with 10 books.  Yes, I'll read at least that many, and I think "Renaissance Reader" has a nice ring to it.  If you want to join us in reading some historical novels, click on the link in the first line.
