Notable Time Periods
Today I will spotlight some of the other different time
periods I have discovered through books.
As I got older I began to read adult books (both fiction and
non-fiction) and this opened the door to discover more events, eras, cultures and
places throughout history. I began to branch out from books set during World
War II to include a wider variety that fascinated me just as much.
Some of these books include:
The Russian Revolution including The Romanov’s
Edwardian Aristocrats and the people who worked for them
Old New York City
The Immigrant Experience
Pre-20th Century America
The Tudors
Among others..
I just love being transported to a different time and
discovering all there is to know about. I know that my future reading will only
take me farther and I can’t wait to learn more about the past.
In the 5th and final installment of My Historical
Fiction Evolution will focus on today’s technology and how it has enhanced my
reading experience.
