I didn't think I'd manage to finish this one, but for some reason I was thinking of historical fiction as a quite narrow category - once I realised that it's not, I had no problem completing this great challenge!It was hosted by Annie from Reading, Writing and Ranting - thanks Annie, it was great fun! History really is hot. :-)
Here's what I read - my original list was quite different, but hey, there's too much joy in list-writing to resist!

My favorites were definitely The Book Thief, The Shadow of the Wind and Star of the Sea - I'm pretty sure all three will make it onto the year's list of best books. My least favorite was The American Boy, which I didn't even manage to finish.
Doing this challenge reminded me how much I love history, I definitely want to read more of this genre in the future.

I don't think I've stuck to the original list for a single one of the challenges I've done, completed or not. Even in the TBR Challenge I've read two off the alternates list! :-)
Well done, Joanna!

Great work with finishing this up! Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres- I particularly like Philippa Gregory and Allison Weir.
Congratulations! I really enjoyed this challenge as well. I love historical fiction :)
