I'm excited that Historical Tapestry will once again be hosting the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.
All readers are welcome to take part in the 2013 challenge, even if
they don't have a blog, and any type of historical fiction is acceptable
(e.g., historical mystery, historical fantasy, etc).Their are five different levels of participation in the 2013 edition of the challenge and I've decided to go for the top level -- Ancient History -- which will require that I read at least 25 works of historical fiction during 2013:.
To sign up for the 2013 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge simply click here.
I'll keep track of my progress on this page.
