Help me with my list, please! I’ve decided to give myself a challenge of reading all the 2019 young adult historical fiction books I can find throughout 2020. Historical fiction doesn’t get as much attention as other genres, so I think it will be fun to read each of these books and then post about them when I have finished.

I made this look by checking out the Goodreads list for YA historical fiction and checking each one to fit my parameters. Since the definition of what makes something historical fiction varies depending on who is deciding, I decided to use what used to be a common definition-anything set fifty years or more in the past. Now I know these days, almost 20 years in the past is technically historical to a teenager, but I had to limit my list somehow, so I’m sticking with the 50 year limit, anything set in 1969 or earlier.

I also don’t mind if there are major fantasy elements as long as the setting is an actual place.I removed one from the Goodreads list because it seemed to be a fantasy setting instead of a historical setting.

Here’s my list at this point. I’m going to read them from earliest time period to most recent, but this list is in alphabetical order by title. If you know of any additions, please post in the comments. Thanks!
