Welcome to the challenge Q!
For this challenge round, the books won't change. Pick however many books from the above list of 100 books that you'd like to read in the next year. It's up to you.
We will eventually revisit Historical Fiction, for a Round 2, with hopefully a mostly new list of 100 books, sometime in the future--but that would be its own separate challenge.

You ever wondered what everyone else is reading in a certain genre? Are you in a funk and just need some suggestions? Or have read through all your TBR and you are looking for your next favorite book?
In this Challenge Theme, we will take a random week and list all the most read books that week in Goodreads for various genres.
Explore the different books your fellow Goodreaders are reading to find your next book.
---For this particular challenge, the books won't change. It'll stay the 100 books posted above. Just pick how ever many books you want to read in a year from this list.
---We will revisit the most read in this genre at another time. Possibly months from now. With hopefully, or at least mostly, a new list of 100 books. Those would be separate challenges from this one. They are each individual.
---If there are books listed in this challenge that you've already read this year, you can certainly backdate the start of your challenge year so that you may include them.
---If a book from the above list is in a series, you can read a book earlier in the series in its place and it will count.
---You can read your novels in any language.
