Lots of great books here! I am so glad I found your channel. Looking forward to watching more videos ☺️

Great video and list! Thank you for the recommendations, I've added a few to my TBR!

Thanks for the recommendations. I am new to this genre and have loved the ones I have read so far.

LOVED this video as historical fiction is my favorite genre. I have only read a couple of these so I am so excited to add a bunch to my tbr. THANK YOU!!

I always get excited when you review historical fiction. Your picks have me adding to my TBR, ugh!! I have The Great Alone, but have not read it yet. That will be first up come January. Great video!

“All the light we can’t see” Doerr. Gave me a glimpse into understanding mind of “enemy” of ww 2. Beautiful book.

I loved All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doorr. Thank you for all these book recommendations

Awesome recommendations. Thank you.

I just ordered When the World was Ours on the weekend, can't wait to read it!

Loved Beneath Ther Scarlet Sky, and A Gentleman in Moscow, both are great reads! I have a handful of your list on my shelves, but have yet to read them. I don't know if I could pick a favorite just yet. So many to choose from.

Loved these! I loved when we read Beneath the Scarlet Sky together. I have to read The Storyteller. I may slip that in if I need a substitute for historathon. My ultimate favorite is The Nightingale.

Thank you for sharing your favorites

I want to try Bianca Marais! and I actually think the rule is 30+ years counts as historical fiction? which means books set in the 90's would qualify and that is alarming to me LOL

The Great Alone is on my Historathon 3.0 TBR… can’t wait to start it. Right now I am listening to The Lost Vintage, and reading A Bend In The Stars by Rachel Barenbaum, which I am loving!

Wonderful idea, I might have to copy you. 😉

Thank you for sharing! These looks like awesome reads! My favorite middle grade historical fiction thus far is A Place to Hang the Moon - Kate Albus. <3

So many I hadn't heard of, and so many recent ones! Loved Gentleman in Moscow :)))

I couldn't resist suggesting you this historical fiction novel as I was watching your video: (The Thief, the Harlot, and the Healer) My favorite genre is historical fiction.

When there is only one son in the family, he does not need to go to war unless he volunteers. Th US government changed the law after WWII. Saving Private Ryan was based upon the story. My dad went to Vietnam because his older brother dodged the draft. Because my dad took his place, my uncle never got in trouble for dodging. They were the only two sons in the family.
