Happy New Year, readers! In the spirit of the new year, I am participating in the When Are You Reading? Challenge 2017.
This has been created by Sam at Taking on a World of Words and the challenge is to read a book set or published in 12 different time periods which are:
- Pre 1500
- 1500-1599
- 1600-1699
- 1700-1799
- 1800-1899
- 1900-1919
- 1920-1939
- 1940-1959
- 1960-1979
- 1980-1999
- 2000-Present
- The Future
I like reading historical fiction so this sounds like a fun and interesting challenge. Hopefully, I can also post some book reviews. I will track my progress on this page and include links to my reviews as I read the books.
