I’ve decided to join a reading challenge! This challenge, called When Are You Reading?, is to read a book set in each of the following time periods for a total of 12 books. Since I’m joining this half way through the year and I belong to 3 book groups, so I don’t always seek books written in certain time periods, below is what I have come up with for 2018 so far.  I have written reviews about a few of these books, but not all. Some of my reviews are not even online, so I will post them as separate blog posts. Meanwhile, everything I have read can be found  on Goodreads.

The complete challenge will include 12 books from the following eras:
• Pre 1500 Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan (NF)
• 1500-1599
• 1600-1699
