I usually wait and sign up for challenges on January 1st. But I will definitely be signing up again next year.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you will be back.
DeleteWell I do read a good amount of historical fiction from all periods in history. I have finished 10 so far this year so I'll stick to the same for 2023.

ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting setting Harvee!

ReplyDeleteI thought I'd hit enter but don't see my comment so, if this is a duplicate please delete one!
ReplyDeleteMy question is, are you going to do a Mr Linky for the challenge as you did this year or is it only via Facebook for linking?
there will be a Mr Linky each month Tina
DeleteSweet! I’ll be joining in.
DeleteIt’s Tina, my phone always shows me as anonymous 😥
I'll definitely be taking part again next year - my sign-up post will follow - and since I'm cutting back on blog tours I'm hoping to have more time to peruse everyone's reviews
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again! I'll post before the end of the month!

ReplyDeleteI'm working on an all inclusive post of all the reading challenges I want to do in 2023, but it will only go up in January. I came close to Prehistoric in 2022 with 47 books, and I'm betting I'll be at about the same level in 2023! Looking forward to more great historical fiction reads!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see so many people signed up for this already.
ReplyDeleteI shall be joining again this year and aiming for the Prehistoric level ☺️

DeleteLooking forward to another year of this challenge. Thanks for hosting, Marg!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first year joining. I like to consider myself a fan of historical fiction especially this past year. I’m excited to join you all and participate.
ReplyDeleteFinally joined the challenge! I’ll be reading a lot of audio books! Anyone else love audio book format
ReplyDeleteI have joined! I will be reading a lot of audio books this year. Does anyone else love the audio book format?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Can't wait to start reading x
ReplyDeleteHistorical fiction is my favorite genre to read and I’m excited to join the challenge—hopefully at the Medieval or Ancient History level.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my profile on Goodreads!
Hi. I'm joining for the first time. Have linked to my goodreads.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to joining in this year. Thank you for hosting, Marg!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be joining in again! I do have a question--I think of historical fiction as something set in a time earlier than the author's. But would classics count as well? Books like Dickens' or Agatha Christie's which were contemporary in their time but historical for us?
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to this challenge!! Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to be signing up for challenges this year... but I do love me some history and historical fiction. My post about the challenge will be going up over the weekend and I'm looking forward to taking part
ReplyDeleteI will sincerely try to keep up this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this!
ReplyDeleteJust joined! Linked my Goodreads acct. Hoping for Medieval status. 👍
ReplyDeleteJust added my link :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again Marg, and terrific to see so many fellow bloggers, readers and reviewers signing up for 2023!
