I always like books about identity, especially when someone is trying to balance two ethnicities/lifestyles. It's just an interesting theme for me.

Thanks for coming by, Lydia!

I'm just super impatient sometimes. LOL.

Thanks for stopping by, Tanya!

Thank you, JadeSky! You know, even though 2020 did not go down the way I thought it would, plenty of great things happened this year. In fact, overall, more good things than bad for me and my family. Keeping my fingers crossed that our luck continues :)

Thanks for coming by!

Well, since I remember the 80s fairly clearly, I don't really think of them as HISTORY, you know? I'm not old enough for that!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

There are a lot of great books coming out next year. It's exciting! Of course, I still have a bunch to finish for THIS year, so we'll see how that goes ...

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Ethan!

Same. The ones I've read are about WWII. It will be interesting to see how he tackles a different topic.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

Oh, good! I hope she enjoys them. These were just some of the great-looking titles I found. Looks like 2021 is going to be a good one for hist fic.

Thanks for stopping by, Deanna!

Me, too! I'm having trouble deciding which ones to do in 2021. There are a bunch that look really fun, but I don't want to take on too many. Choices, choices ...

Thanks for coming by, Caroline!

It does, doesn't it? I couldn't find a lot of plot information, but I like the idea of a book that concerns ALL the people on a plantation. It would be very interesting to see the same events through a bunch of different eyes.

Thanks for stopping by, Ceridwen!

Making a blog is easy - keeping up with it is the hard part! I'm enjoying it, though, and hopefully the blog is helpful to others.

Thanks for coming by, Deb!

Doesn't it? I love the idea of autism being an advantage that allows someone on the spectrum to be a hero - especially in an era where autism wasn't understood at all.

Thanks for stopping by, Greg!

Ha ha. If you can't promote yourself on your own blog, where can you promote yourself? LOL.

I'm excited for my challenge, even if it ends up just being me doing it :)

Thanks for coming by, Natalie!

Yay! Be sure and let me know what you think of the ones you read.

Thanks for stopping by, Laura!

I love learning about history, but I prefer to do it through fiction :) I tend to read mostly about certain time periods, though, so I'm trying to branch out a little in 2021.

Thanks for coming by, Alicia!

Right? And this was just a small sampling of all the interesting-sounding books I found. I can't wait for all the great historical novels coming out in 2021.

Thanks for stopping by, Christopher!

Ha ha. I love TTT, but not all of the topics speak to me. I like the prompts for the next few weeks, though, so I'll be sticking to them for the next little while anyway.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

Same here. Some topics have been used often in the past and then it's nice to twist them a little.

I always enjoy your posts, so thank you for trhat.

Yay! I'm thrilled you'll be joining in the challenge. It's going to be fun and I'm with you, I love the Dear America books.

Thanks for stopping by, Lisa!

I tried to have some variety in the books for this post. I definitely find myself returning over and over to the same time period when I read historical fiction. I'm trying to branch out!

Thanks for coming by, Catherine!

Same. I wanted to create one that was unique from the others out there, but also one that would be fun and a little bit challenging. We'll see how this first year goes ...

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

I'm really excited for both of those titles. THE SILVER BLONDE sounds especially unique for a YA novel.

Thanks for coming by, Kyla!

Mystery/thriller is my favorite genre, but hist fic comes in a close second. I love learning about history through a compelling story!

Thanks for stopping in, AJ!
