Considering I was intimidated by sci-fi for so long, I'm both surprised and pleased that the Sci-Fi Experience is the challenge I've read the most for! Evidently I need to read some more books with witches as their leads, but I have a few in mind to cross off my TBR soon.

Are you taking part in reading challenges this year? How's your progress? Tell me what you've been reading!

2015 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge!


This year is only my second year as an actual blogger, and yeah I might be going a little overboard with the reading challenges but they all look so fun!

As I'm sure you all know by now historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, so it seemed silly to miss out on the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 2015, hosted by the lovely Amy Bruno at Passages to the Past.

The challenge runs from January 1st through to December 31st 2015, and there's still more than enough time to join!

There are six possible levels to aim for:

20th Century Reader - 2 Books
Victorian Reader - 5 Books
Renaissance Reader - 10 Books
Medieval Reader - 15 Books
Ancient History Reader - 25 Books
Prehistoric Reader - 50+ Books

I'm going to aim for Medieval, because there are a lot of other genres I want to read this year, too!

You can participate even if you don't have a blog, and each month there will be a linky over on Amy's blog where you can leave a link to your historical fiction reviews - it'll be a great way to find new books and new blogs! So whether you're a lover of historical fiction or you want to give it a try in 2015, why not sign up?

Go on, sign up here!
