If I have a lot of fantasy books that I’m trying to figure out to prioritize the same could be said for historical fiction titles. Growing up historical fiction was my favorite genre and I credit that for my passing of the AP U.S. History exam more than I do the actual class, but that’s another story. As an adult I have no real idea of what I like about historical fiction in general beyond I love the way Susanna Kearsley writes dual timelines. So I hope this year to figure out what kinds of historical fiction I should be prioritizing as I try to reconnect with that piece of my childhood reading.
