A Shift in Time 

I’m very conscious of reading both historical fiction and history mostly within my comfort zone of the 19th and 20th centuries. As I’ve already alluded to, I’m going to try to do something about that and you should, hopefully, see a generally drift deeper into the past. However, much like a giant oil tanker, it will take both time and effort to change direction. There will no sudden changes of direction, but you should notice a few more pre-19th century books – both fiction and non-fiction showing up here. Partially inspired by Helen over @ She Reads Novels I’ll use 2021 as a baseline to see how I’m doing by the end of the year. So, here it is... 

Fiction: 

Ancient Greece - 2 

17th Century - 1 

19th Century – 11 

20th Century – 5 

Of which... 

WW1 – 2 

WW2 – 1 

Non-Fiction: 

Ancient Greece – 1 

11th Century – 1 

15th Century – 1 

18th Century - 1 

19th Century – 6 

20th Century – 19 

Of which... 

WW2 – 5 

As predicted the list is VERY top heavy in the 19th and 20th centuries. Looks like I have a job to do... [lol]
