I love historical fiction and I've been reading a ton of it lately, so I definitely had to sign up for this one. I'm going for the Obsessed level of 20 novels.  Since I read more than 20 in 2009 I definitely should be able to do it.

i have shut off the CAPCHA, so if you are asked to type a word or number, please let me know. It is very annoying and slows down comments.
