    Oh, and I'm certain to get to Medieval this year, but unsure if I'll get to Ancient History... we shall see!

    This looks like fun. So I'll try for the Medieval level. Just to make sure I follow the rules, westerns count as a sub-genre of historical fiction, right?! Good luck to everyone participating in this challenge.

    I love historical fiction and consider it my favorite genre. I don't have a blog, but will be posting on Goodreads and Instagram and Facebook. My goal for 2020 is 104 books and will try to reach Prehistoric. I normally read WWII books, but want to try and find others to read next year too. Sometimes I get burned out on WWII books.

      I am so glad you are here and joining the challenge! Yes, you can definitely burn out on WWII books, that's for sure. I want to read more HistFic set in Asia this year. I would love to learn more about the history. Happy New Year!

    I'm hoping to resume adding my links for the 2019 challenge before NYE and be more active visiting/commenting on blogs in 2020. Just a hard year all round and was thankful I was able to read as many Historicals as I did! :)

    Really looking forward to participating in this challenge in 2020. I love historical fiction, especially Victorian/Georgian England and books set in WWI and WWII. I'm going to *try* and branch out a little more this year but have so many of these types of books on my TBR I'll likely end up reading them. :-)

    First time participant here! I love reading historical fiction, so this is definitely the right challenge for me. I'm certain I can reach the Medieval level... perhaps even going as high as Ancient History? Thank you for hosting this challenge!

    My name is Betty, by the way, and my blog (The Geeky Bibliophile) is on Wordpress.

      Thank you so much! I was excited to find your blog, because it's not easy to find any dedicated mostly (or solely) to historical fiction. I'm sure I'll be stopping by regularly from now on... and not just because of the challenge!
