2015 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

The 2015 Historical Reading Challenge is being hosted Amy at Passages to the Past. The goal is to read as many historical fiction books as you can throughout the year. I am really excited to be taking part in this challenge as historical fiction is one of my favourite genres to read.

The different reading levels for this challenge include:
20th century Reader - 2 books
Victorian Reader - 5 books
Renaissance Reader - 10 books
Medieval - 15 books
Ancient History - 25 books
Prehistoric - 50+ books

My goal for 2015 is to read at least 5 historical fiction books putting me on the level of Victorian Reader. I will use this page to post my progress as well as links to my reviews. 

Books Completed: 5/5
2. Perdita by Hilary Scharper (Read Jan 24 2015)
5. A Home for My Heart by Anne Mateer (Read March 14 2015)
