The Estella Society is hosting Wilkie in Winter! Yay! First you read a novella, The Frozen Deep, and then you read The Woman in White. I have never read the first before, but I read The Woman in White a few years ago and really liked it. I am hoping to reread it; but we will see how that goes. I made sure I still had it on my e-reader. I considered going with a paperback this time around, but the print is so little I stuck with an e-copy. Wilkie is technically out of copyright, so you can get his books for free in most cases if you go the e-book route. It should be fun!
My Thoughts: Well, I didn't do this challenge in 2013 because I didn't do any challenges, but since I technically blog at Historical Tapestry I decided I should maybe include it this year... My historical fiction often moves into the historical fantasy realm, so we will see how much books I get to.

There are worse things you could do than not participate in any challenges! ;)
