January 1 - December 31, 2010

Royal Reviews are hosting the 2010 Historical Fiction Challenge.

I'm so excited about the changes that they made to this challenge for this year.  This time it will be a year long challenge and there are 4 different levels.  Of course, I have to go with the most challenging level: Obsessed in which I have to read at least 20 books.  I started a list here:
 

1.The Postmistress by Sarah Blake 
2.The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundaresan
3.Our Hart: Elegy for a Concubine by Lloyd Lofthouse 
4.O, Juliet by Robin Maxwell
5.Book of Fires by Jane Borodale
6.The Stolen Crown by Susan Higginbotham  
7.Mistress Shakespeare by Karen Harper
8. The Founding by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
9.Grease Town by Ann Towell

10..The Green Bronze Mirror by Lynne Ellison
11. Summer Before the Storm by Gabriele Wills
12. Captivity by Deborah Noyes
13.The Confessions of Catherine de Medici by C.W. Gortner
14. Galore by Michael Crummey
15.Restitution by Kathy Kacer
16.Houdini Pie by Paul Michel
17.For the King's Favor by Elizabeth Chadwick
18.The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet by David Mitchell
19.On the Proper Use of Stars by Dominique Fortier
20.Annexed by Sharon Dogar
