Book Blogger Hop; Do I Read Historical Fiction?

It's Friday, which means it's time for another Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Do you read historical fiction?".
I love reading historical fiction and it is one of my favourite genres, aside from crime, thrillers, fantasy and sci-fi.

    I used to enjoy reading historical romances and historical fiction but as I've grown older my modern sensibilities have jarred against historic ones. ;-) Never say never, though, right?!

    I hope you enjoy your weekend, Kristin. Here's my BBH Post

      Never say never, but I think several people develop/change their reading habits throughout their life. :-)

    Historical fiction can be quite good! I always appreciate the genre. I'm with you--I love crime, thrillers and fantasy. I need to get into the habit of diving into sci-fi a bit more thoroughly.

      Historical fiction can be quite good, as long as the author know what he/she is doing. :-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.

What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
