Back in April I joined in with the 2018 When Are You Reading Challenge hosted by Sam@Taking on a World of Words. It involved reading a book predominantly set in twelve different time periods.
Woohoo I’ve finished my last book and completed the challenge! Here are the 12 books that I read from the different eras with links to my reviews:
- Pre 1500 – The Year of The Snake
- 1500-1599 – The Phantom Tree by Nicola Cornick
- 1600-1699 – The Witchfinder’s Sister
- 1700-1799 – A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- 1800-1899 – The Flower Seller by Linda Finlay
- 1900-1919 – The Tea Planter’s Daughter by Janet Macleod Trotter
- 1920-1939 – The Hunters by Kat Gordon
- 1940-1959 – Tangerine by Christine Mangan
- 1960-1979 – Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase
- 1980-1999 – The Queen of Bloody Everything by Joanna Nadin
- 2000-Present – The Road to Little Dribbling by Bill Bryson
- The Future – Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

The future is the category I’ve found most difficult to match a book to. Station Eleven was a great idea for your list but unfortunately I read that in 2016!
