Today I will wrap up my series by talking about technology.
But first let’s recap the previous posts:
Part 1: My introduction to historical fiction in elementary
school with Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr.
Part 2: Historical fiction close to home with Booky: A
Trilogy by Bernice Thurman Hunter and Guest of War Trilogy by Kit Pearson.
Part 3: Learning about the holocaust.
Part 4: Eras of Interest
How today's technology has enhanced my historical fiction evolution
It’s no secret that technology has come a long way in the
past 20 years. Hell it’s come a long way in the past year alone. And with that
new technology it has brought an enhanced experience for readers.
The internet alone has opened the door to me for more
learning opportunities than I could have ever imagined.
All those time periods I have been mentioning, now I can
find out more on a topic I have read about, with just a click of the mouse.
Websites like Goodreads and Pinterest have made my TBR list never ending and
many of those books are of the historical fiction and non-fiction genres.
Goodreads
Goodreads allows its users to create bookshelves to organize
their books. I have created several bookshelves for my historical fiction and
non-fiction books. Click on the links below to see my shelves:
Pinterest
One thing I enjoy when reading a historical book is looking
up pictures of that time period, the events that occurred and even sometimes
the people. My cell phone comes in handy in case I’m not near my computer at
the time. I have started to save these pictures in a Pinterest board I created
called From the Books I Have Read.
eBooks
There are many books I have read over the past couple of
years that I haven’t been able to get a physical copy of, but have been able to
obtain in eBook format. This has been a wonderful and cost effective way to get
my dose of history.
I read my eBooks using:
- My Kobo
- Kindle for PC
- Adobe Digital Editions
Blogging and Booktube
And of course the blogging community and booktube has been a
wonderful source for great recommendations.
