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.

  1. 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!

  2. I’ve had _How to Stop Time_ on hold at my library for a minute. I’m looking forward to it.

    Happy TTT!

  4. We Are Not Free by Traci Chee is another great historical fiction that people should read.

  5. 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

  6. 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!

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

  7. 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.

    1. 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.

  8. These all look good, but I was immediatley drawn to How To Stop Time, Matt Haig because I recently finished The Midnight Library.

  9. The Book Thief is one of my favourite books!

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
