I have an exciting new Reading Challenge that I think you will all enjoy! Blogger and Reviewer Jess at Curiouser and Curiouser has announced her Forgotten Histories Reading Challenge!
This will be tied into the HF Reading Challenge that has already begun, so books read for the Forgotten Histories Challenge can count towards your HF Reading Challenge as well!
The challenge will run for four weeks, from the 2nd-29th of March, and each week will feature a different challenge:
Week 1 - Read an alternate history book (e.g. Dominion by C. J. Sansom)
Week 2 - Read a book with a non-white protagonist (e.g. The Queen's Secret by Victoria Lamb)
Week 3 - Read a book with an LGBT protagonist (e.g. Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters)
Week 4 - Read a book that is NOT set in Europe (including Britain) or North America (e.g. Butterfly Swords by Jeannie Lin)
Each week you can post pictures of what you're reading on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, or Tumblr, or your blog! Be sure to use the hashtag #2015FHRC so the rest of us can find what you're reading!
This challenge is open to everyone, whether you're an avid reader of historical fiction or you're a complete newbie to the genre!
Yay! Thanks so much for agreeing to partner up with me for this challenge, Amy, I really appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Amy & Jess! It's shorthand sweet and should open our eyes to other places and the possible origins of some of today's problems. I might read some YA that met these criteria.
