Since I love young adult and middle grade historical fiction, I was super excited to see that Sab H. at YA Bliss is hosting a 2011 YA Historical Fiction Challenge. For the challenge, you can read young adult or middle grade historical fiction. My goal was level 3, which was to read at least 15 YA or MG historical fiction books, however as you can see I already passed my goal! You can read more about the challenge and sign up for it at this link. Here are the books I finished for this challenge in 2011, along with my reviews. I guess I did really well, since I ended up reading way more than 15 books.

I might have to do this challenge too! I really want to read more historical fiction.
Thanks so much for including me!
Thanks for including me Rebecca!
I actually want to try this also, in fact just started reading a great historical fiction titled, "Blood, Money, Power" by Michele Marie Tate. The book involves the folklore of the Hearst castle, 1920’s wild and wicked ways and the dazzling lives of Hollywood’s legendary movie stars. Exciting! Love historical fiction, so am sure I can come up with several more titles. Count me in.
Oh! I'm so excited you joined. I almost invited you personally since you're like my historical fiction guide, but I'm shy.. :P
I did use one of the Goodreads' lists you started and added to it, hope no one ruins it.
Let me know if it's okay with you to provide this list for the challenge or to link here so people can read your list of titles! :)
You have a long list there. Might as well add "Partners" and "Homesteader"
