Also, post 3 now has lists that pertain to the topic/age. I did make one adjustment to the categories by broadening the American Revolution to just Revolutionary War as a setting. There's a number of romances set during the French Revolution and there are other Revolutionary Wars also. This change was made because we had a similar response to Civil War, any civil war will do for the setting. If you find other relevant lists, let me know and I can add the link.

Glad you liked your first RATA book of the year, Padma.I started Sand Creek Serenade for Native American - really enjoying it thus far.

After reading this book I put it on my Diversity read for July. This was a nice enjoyable read. Phoebe is the mail order bride. Who with her mother goes to Colorado to marry Abe, who is white/Cherokee. The prejudice of the small town, does not make life easy for the couple.

I finished my first around the world challenge. I read Mandu by Malati Ramachandran, a 16th century love story between a Muslim Sultan and a Hindu peasant girl. it was beautiful and Im.glad I got to read it. This challenge was the impetus I needed.
for the Native American part of the challenge, Im planning on reading either Summer of the Eagle by Susan Edwards or
Comanche Moon by Anita Mills. I hope to be able to read both :)))

NATIVE AMERICAN
This challenge has enabled me to read boks I wouldn't have ever picked upThank you .
A quick question
Do I need to read as per the set Time table? Coz the book I read as Native American would fit better with diversity theme. Can I updatebit accordingly and read something else for NA?
