2012 Challenges: Historical Fiction

The next challenge I'm signing up for is Historical Tapestry's Historical Fiction challenge.  I am signing up for the highest level because--perhaps with the exception of mysteries--historical fiction happens to be my favorite, favorite genre. (Yes, I'll be reading plenty of historical mysteries and historical romances!)
