Books You’d Be a Fool Not to Read: Historical Fiction

Our topic for this week is books you’d be a fool not to read. (Happy April Fool’s Day! In honor of this silly holiday, share the books you think people must read for whatever reason. They could be your favorites, books you deem classics, books that you learned something important from, books you wish you’d read sooner, etc. You could even narrow it down to a specific genre and share the must-reads for that genre. Get creative!) Since I’ve really gotten into the historical fiction genre lately, I’m going with my favorites so far. Some of these even go back as far as “required” school reading 🙂

2. Where the Crawdads Sing – Delia Owens

3. The Rose Code – Kate Quinn

4. The Story She Left Behind – Patti Callahan Henry
