Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 2010

Historical Fiction Reading ChallengeThis is a challenge over at Royal Reviews.

This challenge has been posted about everywhere, so hey why don't I join in? Sure, since I sucked at every other challenge I've done. Yet, this one, is actually one I can complete effortlessly.

I will be going for the obsessed level, and I don't think that will be a problem since I read probably twice the Obsessed Level of Historical Fiction books in 2009. So that means I am going to go for the unlisted Double Obsessed Level of 40.. in order to make it a challenge!

I will edit this post to coincide with reviews with links to the reviews, and adds or edits etc.

Challenge Guidelines:
1. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate.
--Non-Bloggers: Include your information in the comment section.

2. There are four levels:

-- Curious – Read 3 Historical Fiction novels.

-- Fascinated – Read 6 Historical Fiction novels.

-- Addicted – Read 12 Historical Fiction novels.

-- Obsessed – Read 20 Historical Fiction novels.

3. Any book format counts. (*EEEK I hate E-Books! And I've never done an audiobook either but would like to since it would increase my totals, eh?)
4. You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.

5. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2010. Only books started on January 1st count towards this challenge.
