Historical fiction tbr toppler

This week I am taking part in a week long challenge where participants are encouraged to read some historical fiction titles that have been on their TBR lists for a while. This is a Goodreads challenge taking place at "You'll love this one and more"

For the purposes of this challenge it was pretty difficult to nail down exactly what historical fiction IS. I am going with the criteria that the books were NOT contemporary fiction at the time they were written and have a strong sense of the time period.

MY TBR list that I have decided to chose from this week.

CHALLENGE UPDATES

DAY ONE - started with The Song of Achilles, late in the evening early hours of day two. Read 100 pages
