Since historical fiction is my favourite genre I simply can't pass up the opportunity to participate in the 2012 Historical Fiction Challenge, which will be hosted once again by Historical Tapestry. I participated in the 2011 edition of the challenge, well surpassing my goal to read 20 works of historical fiction during the year.
For the 2012 edition of the challenge I will once again aim to read 20 works of historical fiction (Severe Bookaholism).
