It is important to me to read historical fiction so I want to continue the 2024 reading challenge.  There are categories I did not complete so I will list them here.  I will also list other HF books I read that don't qualify for these categories.

12.  Electric Company: - With a cover that features lightning, or a book that takes place after 1882 (this was the year Edison helped form the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York):    The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley  (1883)

14.  Virginia Avenue: - Featuring Queen Elizabeth I, or a book set during her reign 1558-1603:    The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir

25. B&O Railroad: - With a title starts with B or O, or a cover that is mostly white  The Haunted Sisters by Jean Plaidy (my copy is not in the system)

31.  Pacific Avenue: - Involving exploration or a book featuring or set on an island What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon (Ireland)
