ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! I'm so happy to hear that :) Thank you! I look forward to your reviews.
DeleteI'm gonna go for Renaissance Reader for 2018. I surpassed my 2017 goal of Victorian, but didn't quite make Medieval this year, with 13 historical fiction books.
ReplyDeleteGo you! That's more than I was able to read! Good luck this year :)
DeleteMy favorite challenge!!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Audra! So happy you're joining!
DeleteI'm in, thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for joining! So happy you signed up!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to read! I love this challenge!
Debye
I forgot to mention that I will be attempting to read Ancient History and hopefully Prehistoric. Good Luck everyone!
DeleteI am in. This should be fun. I am going for Medival of 15 books. I share reviews at https://www.goodreads.com/innersavvy Looking forward to reading other reviews.
ReplyDeleteGoing for Medieval level :)
ReplyDeleteYay! You can do it! Thanks for joining!
DeleteHow can I change my name, I entered my mail id by mistake
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to join this challenge! :D Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining!! I'm so happy you're here!
DeleteI am ready to do this challenge. It's my first time.
ReplyDeleteI've signed up and I'm going for Prehistoric...purely on the basis I looked at my reading schedule for January and most of it is historical fiction!
ReplyDeleteOk, going to try! Going for Medieval - 15 books... way less than I used to read, but hopefully I can gobble a bunch up during breaks
ReplyDeleteWould love to join the fun. As it's my first year I'll go sensible and go Renaissance - 10 books. Thank you! And Jenn for signposting me here.
ReplyDeleteI'm signing up for the Prehistoric level again. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteFirst timer!
ReplyDeleteRenaissance Reader - 10 books
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time participating. I am going for Medieval level - 15 books. Thanks for hosting a challenge involving my favorite book genre!
ReplyDeleteUpdated Challenge Goal: On second thought, since the challenge hasn't officially started, I will go for Renaissance Reader - 10 books instead. That seems like a more realistic goal for my first attempt at this challenge.
DeleteI'm joining in for the first time as I really enjoy historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to dive into some great historical fiction reads in 2018!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining for the first time, going for the Ancient History level based on my reading for the past few years. Historical fiction is my genre of choice! Thanks for hosting

DeleteI just stumbled across this challenge, but I'm already looking forward to it. I'm aiming to become a Renaissance Reader. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI'm in again! Probably going to go with Renaissance to Medieval, 10-15 titles. We'll see how the year goes. My reading habits have slowed down like crazy; I haven't even uploaded a review in 2 months. *cringe* So that level is probably about what I could handle in foreseeable future. Thanks again for running this challenge!! I love exploring all the history titles others are reading (even though I may not be as good on the commenting part as I could be). :)
ReplyDeleteI made it to Medieval level this year, so let's hope I can do at least that in 2018!
ReplyDeleteDidn't quite make it to the Victorian level in 2017 so I will try again. Good luck everyone and thanks again for hosting this challenge
ReplyDeleteI made it to 49 books! I did make my goal of the Ancient History Level, looking forward to planning out next year.
ReplyDeleteI am sticking with it this year, darn it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to be joining in this year! It's the right motivation I need to get back into reading historical fiction!
ReplyDeleteSimply Angela
I'll go for ten, as I'm taking part in another challenge with some heavyweight books.
ReplyDeleteIm going for 5 - this year is really going to be a better reading year... I keep promising myself! More HF in the agenda.
ReplyDeleteI have only gone and registered twice, can you remove 49. Yvonne, pretty please.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this challange, 1st tim for me xx
I’m in for the first time. I’ll post on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/18499870-lara-maynard and sometimes on my Facebook page The Bletchley Circle Watchers https://www.facebook.com/TheBletchleyCircleWatchers/ when the books l read are relevant to that. I sometimes blog about books there, especially WWII fiction. Looking forward to participating!
ReplyDeleteQ: please clarify for a newbie: Are the reading challenge levels meant to be per month or for the duration of the reading challenge? Ex. Does a Victorian Reader do 5 books in January or over the whole challenge time?
ReplyDeleteI would say it's for the whole year.
DeleteIs the badge the image of the woman reading at the top of this post? Got it, then.
ReplyDeleteI want to take the Reading Challenge to read 2 20th Century books.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to keep up with the reading challenge the past year, but I hope to stay current this time around. Thanks again for hosting this!
ReplyDeleteHallo Ms Bruno,
ReplyDeleteI need to create a page dedicated to my Historical readings this year, however, in lieu of that I wanted to at least leave a comment to announce I am participating! :) Once I have the post live on my blog I'll add it to the linky directly. I have one review so far to share for January with more to follow,... I read my first Mills & Boon Historical recently and positively loved it! It took me by surprise as it wasn't the typical story I was expecting to find.
Without even trying I tend to be Pre-Historic with my #HistFic, so I'll re-attempt this during 2018 as well! :)
Thanks so much for hosting this! A couple of years ago, I discovered this wonderful genre. I'm looking forward to reading some wonderful historical fiction books this year. I have signed up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! My bubblebath, a candle and my kindle. My idea of heaven... oh, and a glass of champagne.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I’m in. I’m not setting a level, I’ll let it evolve. I’ve already read two historical novels and started a third. My favorite sub genre is historical mysteries.
ReplyDeleteIm in! 20th century reader here
ReplyDeletei would love to join this .
ReplyDeleteI came across this challenge while writing a blog for Fairlight Books. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else is reading and recommending. Most of all I'd like to find some hidden gems of the genre!
ReplyDeleteI'm aiming for Victorian Reader.
Signed up Amy even though I am a bit late!
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late, Kathleen! Welcome!
DeleteI'm in as well - Victorian reader :)
