Wouldn't that be contemporary lit?

Omg! Who's your source?!?!?

I've read several of these authors! You've great taste.

What is your usual interest when it comes to historical fiction?

Do you think it comparable to other mythological retellings?

Any room for a reader?

Tudors - Anything by Janet Wertman is worth looking into, Margaret George has a great one on Henry VIII. Tony Riches is also worth checking out.

Mongols - Stephanie Thornton's The Tiger Queens

First Nations - I like James Welch and Louise Erdrich

Anglo Saxon - Patricia Bracewell's Emma of Normandy Trilogy

Roman - A Day of Fire (several authors, about Pompeii), anything by Kate Quinn, Ben Kane, Conn Iggulden, and Simon Turney. A Year of Ravens (multiple authors, centers on Boudica)

Tone of them! What do you like. 🤣

I mean... you could do a lot worse.

It adds 10 more books to my TBR as well. Imagine that.

You found it!

I live for the passages that burn my soul! 📚❤️

Of course! I love talking books.

Are you reading Weir now? If so, which of her books?

Hard to say.

The book is the first of three and doesn't get into her reign, but I think it evidences Wertman as an author who takes the history seriously.

The book establishes Elizabeth's desire to survive and leaves the door open to explore both the strengths and weaknesses of its headliner.
