Thanks everyone for participating and I hope this challenge got you to venture out of your reading comfort zone!
Thank you Jasmine. I didn't have too many historical fiction books this time around but I got one in.
I loved this challenge and read books I might never have read otherwise and learned allot of new history. Thank you Jasmine for your effort. Wish it would continue!! Well worth repeating.

I applaud you all. I was too intimidated by the centuries challenge to get through in a relatively short period of time to participate. So kudos to all of you!
Chris - I think half the fun of the challenge is finding books that fit the "challenge". The hard part is actually reading them!!!
