2015 When Are You Reading? Challenge

I’ve always enjoyed reading books written or set in different eras, but somehow I never seem to read enough of them. The 2015 When Are You Reading? Challenge hosted by Sam is the perfect excuse to start reading more books that travel to different eras. Make sure to check out her post and sign up if you are interested!

To complete the challenge you have to read books from the twelve eras mentioned. They can be either written or set in the era, so I don’t think it will be that difficult to complete this challenge before the end of 2015… I will be using this post to update my process monthly. I’ve made a TimeToast timeline as well; also to be updated monthly (most likely).

I will divide my reads into two categories: books by publish date and books by setting. When the setting is not specified or is roughly the same as the publish date, I will use this color.
