At the beginning of the year I signed up for the Medieval Reader level of the 2024 Historical Fiction Challenge hosted by Marg at The Intrepid Reader. I was required to read 15 historical fiction novels and I managed to read a total of 19 to successfully complete the challenge.
Here's what I read throughout the year 2024:
1. The Bee and the Orange Tree by Melissa Ashley
2. The Beauties by Lauren Chater
3. The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé
4. The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
5. Black Silk & Sympathy by Deborah Challinor
6. The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See
7. Weyward by Emilia Hart
8. A Short Walk Through a Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke
9. The End and Everything Before It by Finegan Kruckemeyer
10. The President's Hat by Antoine Laurain
11. Hex by Jenni Fagan
12. The Attic Child by Lola Jaye
13. Cuddy by Benjamin Myers
14. The Hatmakers by Tamzin Merchant
15. The Silence Of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski
16. Psykhe by Kate Forsyth
17. Rapture by Emily Maguire
18. Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase
19. The Household by Stacey Halls (reviewing soon)
Have you read any of the books on the list? I'm currently reading and enjoying Dark Serpent by Paul Doherty at the moment and I'm hoping to finish it by the end of the year, bringing my total to 20 books.
Did you read any stand out historical fiction this year or have any recommendations?
