So as long as it shows up on Goodreads as historical fiction and YA, it will count?

YAY!! Congrats!
Finished number two. I loved it enough that I will look for more books by this author, although my library has a rather limited selection.

This was a fun one by Maureen Johnson that I ended up enjoying and I now have sympathy for Cruella Deville:

Apparently, YA historical fiction is a genre I am enjoying lol! Hoping to find some suggestions from other group members! :DJust finished
and will likely read her latest book, They Went Left. My review of the Blue Coat:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
One more: I couldn't wait, and read thee author's latest book, They Went Left. I found it to be even more gripping than Girl in the Blue Coat. Highly recommend this one.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Woman with the Blue Star was a good one and is my second book by the author. I'm not sure if it was strictly YA, but the main characters are teen women and there were definitely parts of it that felt YA it to me. Solid read though!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Willow Wren was a unique perspective in the WWII historical fiction genre as it was from the POV of a young German boy whose father was one of the higher-ups in the Nazi party, but his mother and he and his siblings were anything but Nazis. It is based on the stories told by the author's father (he is the main character) and although he had to fill in plausible details and conversations, his father apparently told many stories and he supplemented with his grandmother's memoirs and stories told by his aunt and uncle, so that this really feels like a biography/memoir. This was an interesting read!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I may finish up my monthly challenge with Red, White, and Whole, which is a historical fiction in verse for Middle School/YA.
Mod
Nice! Hope you like it :)
Okay, yep, I read Red, White and Whole and loved it! I highly recommend it!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This challenge is individual just like our previous April prompt challenge. With this prompt challenge, whoever reads the most YA historical fiction books wins, it's pretty simple and straightforward. Only books that are listed under YA and Historical Fiction count! Entries can be recorded down below as well as any questions you might have.
Let the odds be ever in your favour and good luck!
