ABOUT HISTORATHON:

Historathon is a year-long celebration of reading historical nonfiction. The goal is to read, discuss, and spotlight works of history, and to encourage reluctant readers to give history a try. The calendar year will be divided into three-month long segments, with each segment focusing on a particular period of time:

Q1: January - March (Prehistory - 500 CE)
Q2: April - June (500 - 1500)
Q3: July - September (1500 - 1820)
Q4: October - December (1820 - Present)
