Themed Reading Challenge

Who, me? Join another challenge? Well, the Japanese Lit Challenge ends this month, so it’s ok for me to add another one. ;) Hosted by the every-energetic Wendy, the Themed Reading Challenge runs from February 1st to July 31st and is designed to help get through the TBR stacks.

My theme is the Middle Ages (one of my favourite historical periods), so I’ll read at least four of the following (all from my TBR case):
Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart by John Guy: I’m about a quarter of the way through this wonderful biography.
Joan of Arc by Régine Pernoud and Marie-Véronique Clin, trans. by Jeremy duQuesnay Adams: a biography of the famous 15th century French peasant girl.
The Middle Ages by Morris Bishop: a relatively short (350 pg) history of the entire Middle Ages.
Confessions of a Pagan Nun by Kate Horsley: a short novel set in Ireland just as the Middle Ages began (500 CE)
Crossed by Nicole Galland: a novel about the Fourth Crusade, which took places in the 1200s.
The Conqueror by Georgette Heyer: a novel about William the Conqueror.
A Well-Timed Enchantment by Vivian Vande Velde: first of all, isn’t that just the best name ever?! lol Anyway, this is a short YA book about a teenage girl who accidently time travels back into Medieval France.
