2010 Historical Fiction Challenge (Wrap-Up)

Hosted by Alaine, Queen of Happy Endings.

This shouldn't have been a challenge for me since I love historical fiction but it was really hard to stick to my list (especially since not all of the books were at my library and I am always low on money).

I read all YA/MG about poc. I went for the Obsessed level which meant I need to read 20 books, but as you can see that did not happen (I ended up being around the Fascinated level). I want to try this challenge again but for now I'm going to focus on other challenges that will get me to read books I wouldn't normally read. Maybe next year I'll rejoin since I do love historical fiction. I am going to try and read the rest of these books this year though but we'll see how that goes!
