Historical Fiction Reading Challenge: October stats

 

Every month I share some of the statistics related to the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge. I try very hard to visit every post which has been linked (time permitting) and I find it interesting to see what are the books that people are reading and reviewing! I often end up adding a couple of books to my never ending TBR list.

October was a very quiet month for the challenge which may be attributable to the fact that we are heading towards the end of the year. There were only 31 reviews linked up for the challenge, shared by 15 participants. There were 30 individual titles reviewed, written by 28 different authors. There were 6 reviewers who reviewed 3 or more books each. Thank you to everyone who shared their links whether it be 4 or just 1.

It might not have been the biggest month but there is still something VERY interesting in the stats.

There was only one book that was reviewed more than once this month and that was Arabella by Georgette Heyer. This book was read and reviewed by both CLM from Staircase Wit and Helen from She Reads Novels as part of their participation in the 1949 Club. I am hoping that next year I might be able to participate in the next iteration of that club. Maybe.

The other two authors who had more than one book reviewed for the challenge were Agatha Christie and Elizabeth Goudge. What I find interesting is that all of three of these authors are older titles and not recent releases.

If you enjoy reading Historical Fiction why not join us? You can find all the details here. I am starting to turn my mind to next year's challenge. I do have a couple of ideas but if you have any ideas of what you would like to see in the challenge then please do let me know in the comments! My plan is to have the sign up post for next year up in the first week of December which isn't really that far away! 

I am sharing this with Sunday Salon hosted at Readerbuzz and A Good Book and a Cup of Tea hosted at Hopewell's Library.
