Thursday Threads - What HF did you get for Christmas?



Where in Historical Fiction are you reading?

Julie - Currently I am reading a small novella, The Christmas Letters by Lee Smith. The storyline is transposed through a series of letters from 3 generations of women in the same family. Commencing with 1950s America.

    Affectations (The Jonquil Brothers Series #1) and Book 2 Drops of Gold by Sarah Eden cannot wait to start reading but I am also reading a novella right now A Darcy Christmas by Sharon Lathan love that novel but not quite sure if Jane Inspired books count as HF. I have read The Christmas Letters and Loved it!!!!

    I didn't get any books for Christmas. But not to worry as I received lots of gift cards to my favourite bookstore, which will be used to purchase lots of historical fiction :-)

    Now I'm reading "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood, set during the first half of the XXth century. I got a bunch of historical fiction books for Christmas. "Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel, "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo, "A place of greater safety" by Hilary Mantel, "The Light between the oceans" by M. L. Stedman, "The Observations" by Jane Harris, and "Tale of Two Cities" by Dickens :)

    I got Kate Morton's latest, "The Secret Keeper" that I wished for. I loved her first three books that I borrowed from the library. Glad I own one now :-) Just started it yesterday.
