Challenges for 2013 - The Historical Fiction Challenge

The Historical Fiction Challenge is hosted at Historical Tapestry for the third year in a row. HF is a genre I enjoy very much and I am looking forward to choose what to read for this challenge.

Here are the details:
Each month, a new post dedicated to the HF Challenge will be created. To participate, you only have to follow the rules:

• everyone can participate, even those who don't have a blog (you can add your book title and thoughts in the comment section if you wish)

• add the link(s) of your review(s) including your name and book title to the Mister Linky we’ll be adding to our monthly post (please, do not add your blog link, but the correct address that will guide us directly to your review)

• any kind of historical fiction is accepted (HF fantasy, HF young adult,...)

During these following 12 months you can choose one of the different reading levels: 

20th century reader - 2 books

Victorian reader - 5 books

          Renaissance Reader - 10 books

          Medieval - 15 books

          Ancient History -25+ books

I want to do better than in 2012 when I read 10 books but I don't think I am up for the most advanced level. I'll be joining in at the Medieval level and hope to read 15 books. :-)
