Historical Fiction

Calculating points
Read a book set during era prompt = 1 point
Read a book set during era prompt that includes a #ThemesMotifs&tropes from list = 1 point

For example
In February read a book set during Russian Revolution (1 point) that has a grand house (1 point) and a confession (1 point) would equal 3 points.

Keep your own score, we‘ll touch base quarterly. Then at the end of the year 🎁 🏆 prizes for those with the most points.

Cuilin @AmyG 👍 1y

AnnR Could you please remove me from the tag list, too? Thank you. This looks fun but I think I'll be focusing on a few buddy reads next year (including Sherlock) which will keep me very busy. 1y

Cuilin @AnnR 👍 1y

willaful I think I'm also going to bow out... I feel overcommitted. :-( 1y

Cuilin @willaful 👍 1y

rubyslippersreads I‘ll stay on the list and read when I can, but keeping track of points is probably too much for me. 😏 1y

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads I get it. There‘s an option to just read the monthly era prompts. 1y

ChaoticMissAdventures Love this! I especially love that I get to pick my book with this challenge, I don't join a lot of these because my TBR is naturally so long. But since I always have a lot of historical fiction around this is fun for me. 1y

Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures 🥰 wonderful 1y

julieclair Love this idea! 😀 1y

PageShifter Can you add me to the tag list? 1y

rwmg Can I just keep to the period prompts without the other complications? 1y

Cuilin @rwmg absolutely 💯 1y

Cuilin @PageShifter of course 1y

Cuilin @julieclair yay! 1y

squirrelbrain Thanks for the tag but I‘m trying not to do *any* challenges next year (ha - we‘ll see how that goes!) so could you please take me off the list? 1y

Cuilin Of course 👍 1y

repost @MicrobeMom It is that time if the month again to choose our next read for my fable book club #ProfStaceysTBR (open too all, see link below). We are thinking historical fiction for this month and these are the one I have in my shelf. Do any any of these catch anyone‘s interest? The tip book is Band of Sisters. Thought?

All set for July #BookedInTime

Year of Wonders is my planned read. I came across a hardcover Girl With a Pearl Earring for $2 and I remembered seeing it on one of the suggested reading links for 17th century books so I figured why not 😄

Thank you for all the posted suggestions - they were a Huge help!! I hope to get to both but life always seems to have other plans for me these days.

Cuilin

Cuilin I‘ve read both. Great choices!! 2y

TheBookgeekFrau @Cuilin Good to hear!! Thanks for starting this group, I'm so looking forward to reading books I might not normally reach for 😊 2y

This was my list of anticipated releases last year. I have read 3 with one coming up in January. @megnews I didn't do any better then you. Wait until you see this year's upcoming releases, I found a lot more. Hopefully I'll do better next year. #TBRtoBeContinued #TheresAlwaysNextYear

megnews Chateau was so good. I really liked The Children‘s Blizzard too. 3y

megnews Four Winds I keep meaning to get to. I‘ve also started a list of 2022 releases. I can‘t imagine I‘ll do much better on them but it‘s worth adding them for later anyway. 😂 3y
