Hi Christie - I enjoy your channel very much and am so impressed by the breadth of all that you read! Thank you for all your content. I second Amy Harmon's What the Wind Knows as a magical read. Since you enjoyed the pack horse book you rec'd I thought you might want to check out Carry the World by Susan Fanetti. It's actually a historical romance rather than historical fiction that tells the story of a young widow's experience as a pack librarian who encounters a widower with two young children along her route. It's a beautiful story and feels very immersive in the time period.
Thanks so much for watching! And oooh that one sounds so good and I do love historical romance. Can’t wait to check it out, thanks so much for the rec!
This video popped up when I was scrolling last night and I have to say I loved all your recommendations!! I have had such a hard time finding HF recs that aren’t WW2 setting so I love that you included so many other time periods. You also are great at explaining books. Subscribed! 😊
You’re very good at describing these books! I love that you’re talking about historical fiction books! It seems like most book tubers only talk about contemporary romance and fantasy romance (which there is nothing wrong with) but it’s nice to see different books talked about ❤
@@christireadsalot My favorite was The Rose Code, which is about the women that did the enigma code breaking in England during WW2. My other fave is The Diamond Eye which is about a Russian sharp shooter in WW1.
Thank you for all these great recommendations. Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See. It’s about one of the only female doctors during the Ming dynasty. Last Russian Doll by Kristen Loesch- it’s about the 1917 Russian revolution, a story of betrayal, revenge, love following three women in two different time periods. A great read. Another great historical fiction - The First Ladies by Marie Benedict - a story about partnership and friendship between Eleanor Rosevelt and her African American civil rights activist friend Mary McLeod Bethune. I learnt a lot reading about Mrs. Rosevelt.
Thanks so much for the recommendations! I am a cohost here for a historical fiction book club and we actually just read Lady Tan’s Circle of Women for it!
My favorite historical fiction book of 2023 was Go As A River by Shelley Read. Also seeing as you liked the pack horse library story try The book woman of troublesome creek...... 5 star for me
Yay, hope you enjoy! I just found out both are available on KU with the read and listen feature, so you get the audiobook if you download it on KU. I might be rereading them soon myself lol
Oooh that is a good idea! I know for sure the Alice Hoffman ones I chat about in here are on kindle unlimited, which I was pleasantly surprised with! I might need to read some more and do some more research to do another video like that! I’ll report back lol 🤩
Edward Rutherfurd books recommend would be Paris, New York, Princes of Ireland, Rebels of Ireland, in that order I read Paris first, the history of the city and a wonderful family saga too. Hope you enjoy his works
I read Paris first it is the history of the building of the city with a great family saga too. New York was my second read of his and I loved it. It covered the settling of Manhattan Island by the Dutch also has a wonderful family saga.
Christi, I recommend you read, Her Heart for a Compass (Buccleuch Family, #1) and A Most Intriguing Lady (Buccleuch Family, #2) by Sarah Ferguson The Dutchess of York. These are books based on her ancestors.
Hi, I would like to recommend a historical fiction book with a supernatural twist. Joyce Carol Oates The Accursed. It takes place in Princeton NJ in the early 20th century and has fictional ties to Woodrow Wilson, Mark Twain and Grover Cleveland. Its unique and people hear supernatural and say they won't like it but that part makes the story more interesting. Stephen King liked it too!
So glad I found your channel because I love historical fiction 🌈 You gave me some great titles to read.
Ahhh yay thank you so much, so glad you found this video too 🥰💖
Kristin Hannah writes really good historical fiction! I really liked The Nightingale!!

Historical fiction is my fave! Giver of Stars was so good! Kate Quinn is my favorite! I am so excited for her new book this year.
Aww yay I’m so glad! Yes to Giver of Stars, it had me captivated from the first page! Oooh Kate Quinn is one I see a lot, do you have a fav from her?

Thanks for the rec, I will check out the Shelley Read one. I did read The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and sadly didn’t like it.

Oooo magic lessons sounds so good.
Soooooo good! 🤩

Thanks for the recommendations, I always enjoy family sagas.
Surprised that no one lists Edward Rutherfurd in historical fiction love his work❤
Thanks for the author rec! I’ve never heard of that author before but will go look them up. Any books you specifically recommend?
I read Paris first it is the history of the building of the city with a great family saga too. New York was my second read of his and I loved it. It covered the settling of Manhattan Island by the Dutch also has a wonderful family saga.
