That's the most we've read since May (series), though Biography/Memoir in July was close at 81.
A popular genre! I hope I shelved my books properly.
Still curious about how many people read Gentleman or to the Bright Edge. I would guess at least 10-15 folks picked up Gentleman, and another 8 have picked up the other . Maybe more since animals.

Amy: Still curious about how many people read Gentleman or to the Bright Edge
Oh, I didn't count, Amy, but there were a few (4 or 5? That's a guess) who read Gentlemen. I don't even remember Bright Edge (so 1 or 2, not as many, for sure). There are only three pages of reviews to skim through if anyone wants to count. I could later this evening, but I have plans for the afternoon, so I'm not here for long till later.
Ok, so I've gone back to count. 6 people read A Gentleman in Moscow. Only 2 people read To the Bright Edge of the World.
Really, I'm shocked! Perhaps people commented on each other's reviews? I feel like I can name more than 6 and 2. Anyway, I appreciate so much the effort that took. Thanks, Amy
I read Gentleman too but didn't finish it until November. While not in the official PBT count, I am a recent reader!
Ah, thanks for letting us know, Nicole! Amy, it didn't take as along as I originally thought it might. Instead of skimming and counting, I just used a Ctrl-F (find) on each page!
I read - A Gentleman in Moscow the month before the tag. I was almost done with it when the tag was announced so I didn't count it. I still read 4 HF books for the tag.
Ah, so you see, Amy. That's probably why it felt like more people!
Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres. Sadly, I only read 1 book in Oct. real life is really interfering and not in a great way. Also I tried to read some HF classics like Gone with the Wind, and I'm not loving it. (Though still reading it).
This is a favorite category of mine and I read 0 titles. I was consumed by The Passage all month.
