My Historical Top Reads of 2017










I did not realize how much historical fiction I read until I started working on my favorite historical reads of 2017. In fact Laura Frantz's book almost got missed because it wasn't on my 2017 Goodread's shelf.

What I love about historical fiction is being able to travel back in time and learn not just about the civilization at the time, but the people of the time. I never want to return to present day. That's really true of all reading, but especially true for me of historical stories.
