Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books that were reviewed three times for the 2022 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge

 

 



Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week there is no set theme so I am going to focus on books that were reviewed three  times for the 2022 Historical Fiction reading challenge. 


On Sunday I shared the statistics for the 2022 challenge and highlighted five books that were the most reviewed during the year. You can see that post here.


There were, however, 16 books that were reviewed three times each and these are the books that I am going to focus on today. The question was how to get from 16 to 10. I didn't quite manage it, but here are 10 11 books that were reviewed three times for the 2022 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge which also begin with the word "The".







The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews - This is the second book in the Belles of London series. The first book, The Sirens of Sussex was also reviewed 4 times.


The Brightest Star by Emma Harcourt - If you are looking for a change from WWII fiction, this book is set in Renaissance Italy.





The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont - I wonder if we will ever know what happened to Agatha Christie when she disappeared for 11 days back in 1926.


The Dance Tree by Kiran Millwood Hargrave - This book is set in 1518 and talks about the strange phenomenon of dancing women.




The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn - It's not really a surprise to see Kate Quinn at the top of the list of books reviewed.


The Fugitive Colours by Nancy Bilyeau - This is the second book in Genevieve Planche series, set in 1700s London. 






The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan - I am reading this one at the moment.


 The Leviathan by Rosie Andrews - Set in 1600's England during the Civil War




The Man in the Bunker by Rory Clements - This is the 6th book in the Tom Wilde series of historical thrillers set in WWII


The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell - Maggie O'Farrell turns her attention to medieval Italy 





The Night Ship by Jess Kidd - This is the bonus book for this list. In theory, I am reading this at the moment.


It's not too late to sign up for this year's challenge. All the details can be found here. Whether you already love historical fiction or if you want to begin to explore the genre, you are most welcome to join us!

  2. I saw a movie once about when Christie went missing. Makes me wonder if The Christie Affair may be something I'd also enjoy. A good mystery now and again is fun. :)

    1. Oh no! I've just gone to find you some review links and realised that there are actually 5 reviews for this book because some links have it as Belles and other have The Belles. Anyway, here's a couple of links

  4. I would love to know what happened over those 11 days Christie disappeared. Alas, I fear that the world will never know. But it's great being able to speculate, isn't it?

  10. The Diamond Eye was one of my favourite reads last year. I've added The Christie Affair to my TBR, it sounds so fun.

    Happy TTT!

  15. All very appealing! I want to read The Kitchen Front and I also have The Diamond Eye in the other room waiting for me. I started The Christie Affair but could not get into it.
