Okay, I probably should start to limit myself about now, but this challenge doesn't start until 2008 and sounds absolutely fascinating. I LOVE historical fiction, but read far too little of it, so this is a great chance for me to read (or reread) a bit more of it.
The challenge is to read one historical non-fiction, or historical fiction novel a month. They can't all be of the same type (all novels, all biographies, all memoirs etc.) but otherwise no limits. I haven't completely figured out my list yet, but as it runs for all of 2008 that doesn't matter really :)
For now it looks something like this:
- "Such a Time as This" by Rebecca Velez
- "The Last Jew" by Noah Gordon (novel)
- "Pope Joan" by Donna W. Cross (novel)
- "Those Who Trespass Against Us" by Karolina Lanckoroska
- "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant (novel)
- "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang (non-fiction)
- "A Diary Of A Young Girl" by Anne Frank (journal)
- "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom (non-fiction)
- "The Clan of the Cave Bears" by Jean M. Aule (novel)
- "Selected Journals Volume II" by L.M. Montgomery (journal)
- "The Scarlet Spy" by Andrea Pickens
- Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen

I just wanted to pop in & welcome you to the challenge. I have The Red Tent in my tbr (even though will all the challenges going on I don’t know when I will be getting around to reading it) so I will be looking forward to seeing what you think of it. Have fun with the challenge.
With the challenge starting soon I just wanted to let you know that I will be holding a contest at the end of every month for the challenge. I haven’t decided what all the prizes will be yet, but most of them will be books. If you have any questions fell free to ask.
