I'm definitely in! I'll make an official post in a few weeks. I've read 57 books for the challenge this year, so I'm going to go in at the Prehistoric level for 2022. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back in Susan!
DeleteI an in for this new to me challenge. In 2021 I have read a total of 223 books. At least 80% were historical fiction, mostly WWII. I already have marked for 2022 30 books and at least 20 of them are Historical Fiction. I'm going to shoot for the prehistoric level of 50 books. I am sure I read that many this year.

DeleteI decided that "Renaissance Reader" has a nice ring to it, so that's the level I chose. Maybe I'll read more, but at least the ten for that level.

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm sorry that I am a little bit late to the challenge... My aim is the 20th Century Reader.
ReplyDeleteOops - I did my first link wrong. I realized too late that this is the place for the sign up link, not a review link. Ignore link #61 - #62 is my "joining" link. I don't see my earlier comment, so maybe it's pending review, in which case you can delete it. I know I'm late to the party, but I just found you and am excited to participate.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge Terrie!
DeleteDidn't see 18th century. Guess it could be Victorian, but thinking of Elizabeth Bell's family saga which takes place from 1840 to ?? (haven't finished the series) in Charleston to the far West. And there's all the Oregon Trail series by many authors. Hard to think of these as "Victorian"...???
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun challenge. I'll keep it in mind for 2023. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you join in Jenni Elyse.
