2025 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

It's time again to sign up for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge for 2025! The Intrepid Reader Blog is hosting this challenge again. This is probably my favorite challenge of all time and I learn something about history too. I am joining at the Prehistoric level of participation. It requires that I read 50+ books. Most years this has not been a problem. 2024 was an anomaly though because I only read about 12 books. 

Reading Challenge details

Each month, a new post dedicated to the HF Challenge will be created where you can add the links for the books you have read. 

The Rules

1)  Everyone can participate! If you don't have a blog you can post a link to your review if it's posted on Goodreads, Facebook, Instagram or Amazon, or you can add your book title and thoughts in the comment section if you wish.

2)  Add the link(s) of your review(s) including your name and book title to the Mister Linky that will be added to the host's monthly post (please use the direct URL that will guide us directly to your review)

Any sub-genre of historical fiction is accepted (Historical Romance, Historical Mystery, Historical Fantasy, Young Adult, History/Non-Fiction, etc.)

3)  During the 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

Prehistoric - 50+ books (my challenge)

4)  To join the challenge you only need to make a post about it, add your link in Mr. Linky of the challenge post or just leave a link to your blog if you are not yet ready to post about it yet. If you don't have a blog you can just leave a comment for this post saying that you are joining, and link to your Facebook, Goodreads or other social media page where you will be sharing your reviews.
