Overview

Maybe You want to tackle some of your TBR stack or maybe you want to try a new genre: this challenge is to read 5 Historical Fiction Books of Your Choosing….
——
For 2025 I am doing mini tbr stacks and one of them is Historical Fiction. My goal is to tackle the books I own and read more Historical Fiction that delves heavy into the history and is more rooted in history versus historical fiction that is set during a historical real timeline.
