Hi All! After scouring the archives of challenges in the past, I discovered a paucity of history challenges. I plan on reading a lot of history next year, and think it would be interesting to see what others are reading too. I will post a linky on the first day of every month so you can include any nonfiction history books you’re reading. The rules are not strict – if you consider the book to be history, then go ahead and post it.
Personally, I will be reading a bunch of books about the world history (mostly English) around the time of Henry VIII. This is because the third book of the Wolf Hall trilogy will be coming out, and I want to understand the sociopolitical background of the book while I’m reading it. Incidentally, you’re welcome to join me for a readalong of that trilogy. 🙂
I’m starting reading the books now, so I’ll just start the challenge on December 1st 2019.

Hi! I added your two challenges to our Master List of 2020 Reading Challenges. Watch for that post to be updated. Do you have a linky for the history challenge too? I’ll personally be joining the history challenge although I won’t post about the challenges I’m participating in until December after I’ve decided on them all. I’ll post my updates on Instagram too @chapteradventure. – Kim

Oh! I must have forgotten the Linky. I’ll take care of that as soon as my baby lets me back on the computer. 😋

I’m joining unofficially since I don’t want to create a new inlinkz account. (I don’t remember it being so complicated to add links in the past?! But then again it’s been a year since I’ve signed up for reading challenges!) I do plan on reading tons of nonfiction books next year. I’ll keep up on my own page throughout the year.

I’m not sure my linky was working properly. Not sure what I did wrong. But you’re not the only one with that problem. You can post as many links as you want, and I’ll consider that participating.
