My Top 10 Historical Fiction Books of All-Time

In Memoriam. WWI. Read this!

I am new to your channel and maybe you have already picked her up, but I think you would love Lisa See, in particular Island of Sea Woman, the Girl from Hummingbird Lane and and her latest Lady Tan's Circle of Women.

I kinda do the same thing as Gloria. If I like a book by an author I will try other books by the same author to see if I like it. There are so many good historical fiction books. Most of them will be WW2, which is why books set in another time can be super interesting as well.
Anyways, some great books by different authors.
Ken Follett: Fall of Giants trilogy and Pillars of the Earth (soon to be 5 books in the series)
Kristin Hannah: Absolutely loved "The Nightingale". Have since read The Great Alone, Winter Garden and The Four Winds. The Four Winds beeing a great second.
Kate Quinn: Rea The Alice Network and loved it. Have since read The Rose Code, The Diamond Eye and The Huntress. Loved them all.
Diana Gabaldon: I'm also a big Outlander fan, allthough I have given up during the 7th book. Left it over a year ago, but might get back to it.
Heather Morris: The Tattooist of Auschwith. Have only read the first, but apparently there are 3 in the series now.
Amy Harmon: Loved From Sand And and Ash, so will have to look into the other two as well.
Kristin Harmel: Book of Lost Names. Really liked this as well.

I reread The Great Gilly Hopkins by Katherine Paterson the other day. I read it when I was a school librarian preparing a group of elementary students for a book competition. I thought what a treasure many YA books are! Anyway, I was glad to see Number the Stars on your list - another book to not miss!

A winter garden by Kristin Hannah!

Amy Harmon just published a newer one about a girl disguising herself as a male to fight as a solider in war. A Man called Samson. It’s good too 👍
AND I care for kids and an eleven year old who loves books gave me his school library copy of White Bird by R J Palacio. It’s a graphic novel of WWII about a female Jew separated from her family and protected by another. It’s amazing and so touching! 🥹💕🦋
Also, pachinko! That’s also such an incredible, astounding book!!
Historical fictions are my favorite genre 🤭

Children of gods and fighting men (Vikings)
The Manningtree witches

Affinity by Sarah Waters or the Warlord series by Bernard Cornwell (tw for sexual violence for those)

Thank you so much for saying Outlander isn't for everyone. I was soooo surprised and horrified when I read it, because in the beginning I really loved her writing style and the plot and the characters and overall I was in love with it but then I began to feel like it fetishized r*pe in a way that I found deeply triggering and I really really wish anyone who had recommended it to me had said ANYTHING about that before I went and fell in love with a book I couldn't bring myself to finish. I totally understand how some people can move past that, like I said, the characters and the writing style were so lovely I attempted to keep going but in the end I had to give up.

Love the outlander series. Waiting and waiting for book 10 to come out!

Girl your voice sounds like pure honey. I could listen to you all day long nonstop

I just finished "The Personal Librarian " by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. Great read...the authors notes after brought me to tears! ❤️📚❤️

O.k ma'am God Book details

Voice in the wind - yes

The book thief is very average.

The Nightingale is absolute rubbish, full of inconsistencies and de scribes à France that dors not exist.

Have you read The Suitcase of Lost Words its one of my favorites

If you like ancient history you should read Boudica by Manda Scott. Its a 4 book series and it is amazing. It will give you all the feels. Very well written.

Loved Dear Mrs. Bird. Read both books. Five stars
