This year I decided to give a reading challenge another try. I did try the A-Z Challenge two years ago but didn’t quite finish it. This challenge is open ended so hopefully I will manage to reach the required number of books and perhaps even get beyond that. My crime fiction will still be read but perhaps with a historical setting. The challenge is being hosted by Historical Tapestry and you can find all the details there.
Books:
The Mesmerist by Barbara Ewing
Death in the Devil’s Acre by Anne Perry
The Lives of Stella Bain by Anita Shreve
An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris
Brave Enemies by Robert Morgan
Not the Same Sky by Evelyn Conlon
A Decline in Prophets by Sulari Gentill
Eye of the Raven by Eliot Pattison
Wing of Night by Brenda Walker
The Streetsweeper by Eliot Pearlman
The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey
The Lost Quilter by Jennifer Chiaverini

What’s the required number? You’re already reviewed 16 and we’re not even halfway through the year.
Sorry for my late response Lorna. There are several levels in the Challenge and I am aiming for Prehistoric.
20th century reader – 2 books
Victorian reader – 5 books
Renaissance Reader – 10 books
Medieval – 15 books
Ancient History – 25 books
Prehistoric – 50+ books
That’s quite a lot but I think you’ll do it no problem.
