Historical Fiction 2011 Challenge Wrap-Up

[christina_reads]

Today I completed the Historical Fiction 2011 Challenge at Historical Tapestry.



There were several tiers to this challenge, and I chose to attempt the top tier and read 20 books. Any type of historical fiction counted, which made things easier! Anyway, here's what I read:

1. Roberta Gellis - Roselynde
2. M. K. Hobson - The Native Star
3. Willa Cather - Death Comes for the Archbishop
4. Lauren Willig - The Orchid Affair
5. Robin Adair - Death and the Running Patterer
6. Gail Carriger - Changeless
7. Gail Carriger - Blameless
8. Laura Kinsale - Lessons in French
9. Mary Robinette Kowal - Shades of Milk and Honey
10. Rebecca Dean - Palace Circle
11. Anna Godbersen - Envy
12. Mary Gentle - A Sundial in a Grave: 1610
13. Margaret Leroy - The Soldier’s Wife
14. Kate Elliott - Cold Magic
15. Katherine Webb - The Legacy
16. Ellis Peters - The Pilgrim of Hate
17. Susanne Alleyn - Game of Patience
18. Marina Fiorato - The Daughter of Siena
19. Juliet Marillier - The Dark Mirror
20. Mary Balogh - A Matter of Class

Since I love historical fiction, I really enjoyed this challenge! Roselynde was a standout, and I also liked Gail Carriger's and Ellis Peters' books, as always. Game of Patience and The Dark Mirror were also impressive, but I wasn't a big fan of Shades of Milk and Honey, Death and the Running Patterer, or A Sundial in a Grave: 1610.
