Laura at Laura’s Reviews is hosting a Victorian Book Challenge in 2012. I love old books and historial books so this should be right up my alley. It was nice to see some books from my TBR List included in various Victorian Book lists. I’m going to aim for 2 Victorian books this year and see where I go.
For the Victorian Challenge, we will focus on the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. We will count books that were written by Victorian authors during this time period, books set during the Victorian age, or books about a Victorian author, history, manners, architecture, Queen Victoria etc. Also besides reading books, short stories, audiobooks and movies will also be accepted. The sky is the limit; I would love to make this a true celebration of all things Victorian.
Challenge Details
1. The Victorian Challenge 2012 will run from January 1st to December 31st, 2012. You can post a review before this date if you wish.
