My Musings for the Week...
Random weekly question: What is the best book you read LAST year?
The beginning of last year was significantly better for me, in terms of reading. 2016 has been pretty hit or miss—mostly hits, but the handful of misses happened back-to-back, and almost had me in a reading slump. Luckily, I avoided that.
Other Musings...
Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite historical fiction, alternative history, and historical fantasy novels/series. Basically, books with settings based in some kind of historical time period no matter how altered, strange, or mysterious. Honestly, historical based novels are something I don’t read enough of, considering how much I tend to enjoy the books. However, I have read enough to compile a short list for today’s post.
- The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd
- Wonderstruck, The Marvels, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick
- The Agency Series by Y.S. Lee
- Kat, Incorrigible series by Stephanie Burgis
- The Diviners by Libba Bray
- Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger
- Leviathan, Behemoth, and Goliath by Scott Westerfeld
Anyway, what are you reading this week?
The Madman's Daughter is a fascinating read. I loved it.

DeleteI've got the Madman's Daughter but haven't read it yet. Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely read it when you get the chance. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteI always automatically reach for fantasy books, and have a tendency to avoid historical fiction. But I'm trying to curb that! I've heard a lot about The Madman's Daughter and The Diviners, and I definitely need to read them soon!
