“drop everything Craig’s in trouble!” 😂 That’s how I felt seeing this pop up on my TL. Historical fiction is my favorite genre. Give me alll the recs 🥰
Thanks for sharing this! I read and LOVED Pachinko! Definitely one of my favorites. I read Transient Kingdom but didn’t love it. And I had no idea Tracy Brown passed away!! 😢 I have the book of hers you mentioned on my TBR.
Yes, she had agreed to do an in-person interview with me like a month before she passed. I was completely in shock. She will forever be missed in the book community. See this is why I hesitate to pick up Transcendent Kingdom smh. Pachinko was just 👌🏾
I added Homegoing to my list. Some of my favorites are By Her Own Design by Piper Huguley, The First Ladies by Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray, Wild Women and the Blues, In the Face of the Sun by Denny S. Bryce. I’ve just started her most recent release with Eliza Knight titled Can We Be Friends and she also has a new one coming out this summer titled The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander. (NetGalley ARC). I love historical fiction because most times it takes me further down that rabbit hole and I want to learn more.
I started listening to Pachinko a year ago, but never finished it. I might have to pick it up again. Homegoing is my favorite and only 5 star rated book. Nothing has come close to it in my reading journey. Even when the book of Negroes came out...I agree with you 100%! Hold you down was on my TBR twice already, but unfortunately, I have not gotten to it yet!🤭 stay with me!! eeeeeeek! that book is living free in my brain! that one and a spell of good things...lool everything you described was exactly how I felt!😂
Okay so we’re on the same page! I really need to get back to a spell of good things. I keep starting and stopping at the exact same spot 🤦🏾♀️ I don’t think anyone can hold a candle to Homegoing. It deserved allll the awards.
Did you not absolutely hate the husband in Stay With Me? He let her lose her entire mind due to pride. When I think about that man, he is the only book character I ABHOR!

😂😂😂 historical fiction is really that gworl! It’s a 2 for 1 special when it’s done right
The Last Dreamwalker is for me! Putting in my cart and on top of my TBR!
Yessss and if you like that one Remembrance by the same author is also really good
Pachinko is on my tbr, I may need to move it up based on how much you liked it. I was considering adding the audiobook as well.
Yes ma’am definitely the audiobook! This book is quite long and I remember enjoying the audio version
I own Pachinko and Homegoing! I love a good multigenerational family saga!
Yesssss top tier historical fiction
Oh gosh homegoing sounds like it’d be a hard read but so so good! Going on my tbr straight away
Yessss 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for this! I've been wanting to get into this genre.
I hope you find some that you love. But once you read a good hist fic it can be addicting
This is my favorite genre. Pachinko & Homegoing were excellent. I have got to Hold You Down yet.
Okay good so we have similar taste. Hold you down whew 😥 get into it
I found a copy of homegoing,cant wait to read it
Lucky you! I hope you enjoy it 😊
Dream walkers sounds good also. I’ve never heard of it.
It’s definitely one that’s flown under the radar
Stay with me sounds reallly good! I never even thought to consider the 90's as historical fiction lol 😩chile where has time gone
Me neither until I started doing the math. I’m like wait hold up 😩 Stay with me is EVERYTHING

Aria by Nazanine Hozar is a good family saga
