I had a lot of fun participating in this challenge in previous years (click to see lists for 2015 , 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019), and to be honest I missed participating last year… So I’ve decided to join the fun again this year! This challenge is hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World Of Words and is all about reading books either published or set in different time periods… The perfect way of reading books of different eras!

The complete challenge will include 12 books from the different eras. Below I will be adding the titles I have managed to read for each era, and once again I will do things differently and not add every book I read to the list, just one or two for each era depending on the color each title has. I have divided 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.
