Reading Through Time

Come and jump through history with us.

This is a group for anyone who loves to read about history. We have monthly themes chosen and hosted by our members as well as a separate quarterly time period challenge hosted by member Tess_W.

The rules are simple:

* Anyone can join or post

* You can participate in any or all reading challenges but are not required to do so.

* Fiction or Non-Fiction is acceptable

* You may set up your own thread to list your reads if you want to.

We are a friendly group so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Simply post your question and someone will help you.
