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 👍 12mo

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. 12mo

Cuilin @AnnR 👍 12mo

willaful I think I'm also going to bow out... I feel overcommitted. :-( 12mo

Cuilin @willaful 👍 12mo

rubyslippersreads I‘ll stay on the list and read when I can, but keeping track of points is probably too much for me. 😏 12mo

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads I get it. There‘s an option to just read the monthly era prompts. 12mo

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. 12mo

Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures 🥰 wonderful 12mo

julieclair Love this idea! 😀 12mo

PageShifter Can you add me to the tag list? 12mo

rwmg Can I just keep to the period prompts without the other complications? 12mo

Cuilin @rwmg absolutely 💯 12mo

Cuilin @PageShifter of course 12mo

Cuilin @julieclair yay! 12mo

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? 12mo

Cuilin Of course 👍 12mo

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

All are welcome to join a monthly low key readers group dedicated to historical fiction. Each month you choose a book to match the prompts. Join every month or just the ones that interest you. Read, review, and tag. Some months we may buddy read the same book.

Also tell me your favorite eras for HF as I‘m putting prompts together.

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
