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!

Sunday Salon: Historical Fiction Reading Challenge - January stats

This year as part of the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge I am intending to provide some stats after each month and then at the end of the year I will do an overall wrap up for the year. That's the plan anyway. And today I am sharing a few stats about January, so I am sticking to the plan!!

During January, there were 71 reviews shared by 25 participants. Some of you, or more precisely 6 of you, have already shared more than 5 reviews which is amazing! Well done and keep it up!

In terms of the books, there were 66 individual titles reviewed, written by 64 different authors. There were several books that were reviewed multiple times. They were:

The Girl from Paris by Ella Carey - reviewed by both Yvonne at A Darned Good Read and myself

The Man in the Bunkery by Rory Clements - This is the sixth book in the Tom Wilde series and was reviewed at Secret Library Book Blog and also by Cathy at What Cathy Read Next.

The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher - This was reviewed by Davida at The Chocolate Lady's Book Blog and by Susan at Reading World. Paris and books! This definitely sounds like my kind of book.

The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray - This was reviewed by Constance at Staircase Wit and at Laura's Review.

The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews -  reviewed by Yvonne at A Darned Good Read and at Laura's Reviews

There were 2 other authors who had more than one book reviewed in January. The first was perennial favourite Georgette Heyer whose books The Toll Gate and The Nonesuch were reviewed at Whatmeread and by Susan at Reading World respectively. Anita at Series Book Lover reviewed The Burning Chamber and The City of Tears both by Kate Mosse. 

It's not too late to join the challenge this year. You can find all the sign up details here and if you have a link to add to the challenge the February Linky can be found here.

Let me know if there is another statistic  that you would be interested in seeing each month.
