The When Are You Reading? Challenge was hosted again this year by Sam at Taking on a World of Words. It involves reading a book set in each of twelve time periods. Determining what year a book belongs in is the decision of the participant. On the whole, the rule is to choose a year where the largest part of the action occurs or the most important event.
I’m pleased to say I’ve managed to read a book to fit each of the time periods, although it was a close run thing with the last one. Links from the book title will take you to my review.
If you love historical fiction but often find yourself sticking to one or two favourite time periods, or if you’re keen to read more historical fiction in 2024, look out for the sign-up post for next year’s challenge.
