Top Ten Tuesday: Books To Read if You Love History (16 November 2021)
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is books to read if you love freebie, so I'm going with books to read if you love history.
I literally just commented on another TTT post saying that I read Wild Swans years ago and I remember enjoying it :) I've seen a lot about How to Stop Time by Matt Haig and I'm definitely looking forward to trying it at some point. Great list!
We did a similar theme this week. I added the Eliza Hamilton book but I also loved The Book Thief. Here is my post-https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2021/11/top-ten-tuesday-books-to-read-if-you.html.
I need to make it my goal to read "The Book Thief" next year as I keep saying I'm going to read it, but have had no time!! I also wouldn't say I love history, but my list today proves otherwise, LOL. Here is my post: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/11/top-ten-tuesday-new-authors.html
History and historical fiction are two of my favorite genres. Ditto most anything by Michael Morpurgo, including 'An Eagle in the Snow' and 'A Medal for Leroy.' Good list!
Aww, War Horse. I love that book so much, despite its sadness. And I remember seeing Rembrandt's Daughter at the library, but I don't think I ever got around to reading it (alas, just checked the catalog and it's gone now). Nice to see an older YA rec.
I've owned Rembrandt's Daughter since I was a teenager and I reread it so many times back then. I think it must have been the book that started my love of historical fiction.

ReplyDeleteI'm still reading Wild Swans and it's so good! I loved How to Stop Time. Definitely one of my favourites.
DeleteI’ve had _How to Stop Time_ on hold at my library for a minute. I’m looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief is one I'll always remember. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWe Are Not Free by Traci Chee is another great historical fiction that people should read.

ReplyDeleteI love a good historical fiction. War Horse is the only Morpurgo I've read. I really should read more though.

DeleteThese all look good, but I was immediatley drawn to How To Stop Time, Matt Haig because I recently finished The Midnight Library.
ReplyDeleteI have loved both How to Stop Time and The Midnight Library. They were both 5 stars for me, so I highly recommend checking it out.
DeleteThe Book Thief is one of my favourite books!

I loved it when I read it years ago. I really should try and reread it soon.
