Top Ten Tuesday: Historical Settings I Love
I love historical fiction (always have!) and these are some (keyword: some) of my favorite historical fiction I’ve read! I’ve tried to include a diverse selection of books and a variety of time periods, but I will literally read about any time period. I read all the American Girl books growing up (back then there were only 4 or 5 historical girls), loved the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Anne of Green Gables is probably one of my all-time favorites!
