Mine's so little compared to everyone else's!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 270 comments Don't feel bad. My list has a few on there that are not "true" YAHF, but I stretched a bit to add them because there were historical elements somewhere in the book. One is an adult HF, but reads like a YA.

Maree | 99 comments Mmm, good to know! I'm currently reading The Lost Years of Merlin but I think that's probably too much of a stretch to call it historical. Mythically historical, perhaps? ;)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 270 comments I have The Hourglass Door and technically it's a sci-fi/time travel book set in the present day, but some of the characters traveled to the present from DaVinci era Italy, so I added it.

Your list is what you want it to be.

Maree | 99 comments 15, yay!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 270 comments Congrats!

You're reminding me that I probably need to update my list. It's been a while. I should probably separate out my hard YAHF from other genres which have historical aspects, but that would require not being lazy.

Maree | 99 comments Lol, I'm sure it looks prettier with the historical aspects ones. :)


message 8: by Maree (new)

Maree | 99 comments Yay! I more than hit my goal of 15.
