Ends: Wednesday, 01 January 2025

A monthly challenge to help you strengthen your knowledge of history! But honestly we probably just want to feel like "that girl" reading our history books on our next vacation. Maybe even holing ourselves up in that cute little Edinburgh coffee spot we almost all fantasize about now. Anyway, have fun & take some time feeding your desire for knowledge! You don’t need to identify as a woman and/or female to join us. This challenge is open to all! Feel free to add as many books as you'd like.
