This year as part of the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge I am intending to provide some stats after each month and then at the end of the year I will do an overall wrap up for the year. That's the plan anyway. And today I am sharing a few stats about July.
During June there were 78 reviews shared by 25 participants. There were lots of people who shared multiple reviews, including 5 people who shared more than 5 reviews. Thank you to everyone who has shared! I think I have visited everyone this month, and there were some fascinating titles, and I added more than one book to my TBR list!
In terms of the books, there were 75 individual titles reviewed, written by 73 different authors.
There were 3 books that were reviewed twice for the challenge. They were:
That Bonesetter Woman by Frances Quinn - This is one of the books that I added to my TBR list after reading reviews at What Cathy Read Next and She Reads Novels.
The Crimson Thread by Kate Forsyth - I am always excited when there is a new book by Kate Forsyth! Reading the reviews from Bree at All the Books I Can Read and Yvonne at A Darn Good Read reminds mme that I need to make some space in my reading life for this book!

The Lost Sister of Fifth Avenue by Ella Carey - The last book that received multiple reviews this month was another book by an Australian author. This is a book that I read as did Yvonne at A Darn Good Read.
The other author who was reviewed more than once, but for two different books was perennial favourite Agatha Christie.
It's not too late to join the challenge this year. You can find all the sign up details here and if you have a link to add to the challenge the August Linky can be found here.
I'm glad you've added That Bonesetter Woman to your TBR! I think it will probably be one of my books of the year.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise indeed Helen!
DeleteI can think of so many people who love to read historical fiction and who would love to take part in this challenge. Historical fiction is the favorite genre of most of the members of my f-t-f book club. I'm glad that you host this challenge and keep us updated on the best and most popular books.
ReplyDeleteThere;s alotofreally great historical fiction out there Deb!
DeleteSome interesting historical novels here. I recall loving Amy Tan's The Bonesetter's Daughter so I'd be curious about The Bonesetter Woman I think. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like an interesting book Diane!
DeleteI count on your historical challenge updates for my book ideas!
ReplyDeleteHope you got some good ideas this month Tina
DeleteI haven't been reading historical novels recently, but yours look tempting.
ReplyDeleteI go through phases with other genres, but not so much with historical fiction.
DeleteOh my goodness - I love historical novels and crave ones that aren't set in WWII, just because there are SO many of them. And, I'm excited to join in next month AND explore all the recommendations from other readers. I see it now, my list g-r-o-w-i-n-g!!! :)
