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. Today I am sharing a few stats about August.
During August there were 67 reviews shared by 25 participants. There were lots of people who shared multiple reviews, including 3 people who shared 5 or more 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 66 individual titles reviewed, written by 64 different authors.
There was only one book that was reviewed twice for the challenge. This was:
Lessons in Chemisry by Bonnie Garmus was reviewed both by Curly Geek from The Book Stop and Laura from Laura's Reviews.
There were two other authors who had two individual titles reviewed. Signal Moon and The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn were both reviewed as were two books by Madeline Martin being The Last Bookshop in London and The Librarian Spy.
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 September Linky can be found here.
I love reading your round-ups. I have Lessons in Chemistry and The Diamond Eye on reserve at the library but I didn't even realize the former was historical fiction (sometimes I try not to read the reviews for fear of spoilers but I knew people had been enjoying it).
ReplyDeleteI was interested in it from the foodie perspective so now it ticks two boxes for me.
DeleteDidn 't realize Lessons in Chemistry was historical fiction. I have the ebook to read.
ReplyDeleteIt's set in the 1950s Harvee so definitely counts!
DeleteI've missed a couple of your roundups and EVERY time I say I am going to remember this time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Lessons in Chemistry is so popular, I loved it too. And I'm excited to read The Diamond Eye!

I need to read both of them still!
DeleteI loved Lessons in Chemistry but for some reason didn't think to link up as historical. I guess because those years were when I was growing up and ...wait! Historical?! Me? hahahah
ReplyDeleteHappens to the best of us I'm afraid Tina!
DeleteI want to read Lessons In Chemistry. I have hinted heavily that I would like it for Christmas so fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Hope Santa brings you every book you desire!!
DeleteI have been reading quite a few historical fiction, but I never remember to link up for my challenges! I enjoy reading your monthly wrap-up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy. It's always interesting to put it together.
DeleteI'm so glad I found this roundup! I've joined in the last couple months and there are SO many interesting sounding historical books there. I'm always happy to find one NOT in WWII.

Thanks for all your comments too Terrie!
DeleteLessons in Chemistry is on my TBR. I've heard such great things about it.
ReplyDeleteI have too Jenni!
DeleteI am a big fan of Lessons in Chemistry. Funny, but I didn't really think of that book as historical fiction until you pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear more about the Kate Quinn books.
I've loved The Rose Code. Still need to read Diamond Eye and Signal Moon.
