Books: Genre of the Month: Historical Fiction

Hello, Time-Travelers!

I used to read historical fiction a fair amount when I was younger, but I don't as much now.

Historical fiction is fiction, but it takes place in a time period in history. For example, a historical fiction book might take place during World War II.

Some historical fiction books I have read are:

The Dear America series. Some of them were horribly sad, but they all were diaries from a character in a different time period. This is one I read.

I read some of The Little House on the Prairie books as well.

I also read Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry.

I've read a quite a few more, but I'm trying to stick to the more famous ones/series, such as the wonderful children's series: Magic Tree House--some of which were based on historical time periods.

The last book I wanted to tell you about is one I can't remember the title of. I wish I could remember it. :(

Do you like historical fiction? What's your favorite historical fiction book?

  1. I love historical fiction too. My all time favorite is Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Recently I have been reading a series by Jeffrey Archer set around 1900. His books are well written and quite entertaining.
