I participated in Historical Tapestry’s 2011 challenge and I’m back for more in 2012! I love historical fiction although I haven’t read nearly as much in 2011 as I have in the past in this genre. Either way, for 2011 I chose the level of “Severe Bookaholism”, which meant reading at least 20 historical fiction books. As of this posting, I am at nineteen books, so I will have no problem getting number 20 in there before the 2011 challenge ends. Hopefully I can read more in 2012!

Here are the rules:
