Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

Instead of working on my homework like a responsible college student I've been distracting myself by signing up for lots of reading challenges! I have posted about this one yet and now seems like as good a time as ever because I'm right in the middle of writing a paper (you should know that my brain has deteriorated to such a point that I first wrote that I was "write in the middle of righting a paper").

Anyway... Royal Reviews is hosting a Historical Fiction Reading Challenge. If you've been reading my blog then you know this is right up my alley since I love historical fiction. I will be doing the Addicted level which means I'm planning on reading twelve historical fiction books from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. I'll probably end up at the Obsessed Level, which is 20 books, but who knows. Maybe I'll fall out of love with historical fiction in 2010. To make things a little more interesting on myself I have come up with a list of historical fiction genres I have yet to explore. I mostly just read historical fiction about 18th and 19th Century Britain but there a lot of other books I want to read out there. I'm not going to come up with a definite list of books, but I would like to read one book from each of the following sub-genres or time periods or places:

  1. The Civil War
  2. Something about Mary, Queen of Scots
  3. A Historical Romance Novel (wooo)
  4. The Great Depression
  5. Japan
  6. A Western Historical Novel
If you've read any good books in any of these categories I'm open to recommendations.
