Grace told me I could ask for book recommendations on this part of our blog. When I asked her I used the example of wanting some fantasy ideas since I'm not very familiar with that genre and both Grace and Faith are. I think I got her excited and I felt bad popping her bubble by saying I was only using that as an example. :(
The book recommendation I am really looking for is more in my genre (and I think Josie's too)--Historical fiction.
Recently I seem to have gotten stuck in a rut of WWII time period books. I decided to change things up a bit by going back about 30-40 years to WWI. And there is my problem. I cannot find more than one book, (War Horse, a wonderful book by the way) that is written about that war. Every author seems to gloss over it and move on to the more exciting, more recent and more decisive WWII.
Any ideas? They can be fiction, non-fiction, biography, histories (preferably not but if it was a very good one I might be able to stay awake long enough. ;) ), autobiographies?

I couldn't think of any books, so I went and asked my dad. :) The only one he could think of was All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. It's fiction; however, it is realistic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Faith (and your dad ;) )! I'll have to see if I can find that!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of any at the moment. I'll let you know if I remember any :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried the Zion Covenant series by Brock and Bodie Thoene? I'm reading them for the first time now, but Dandi, Anise and Irene really like them so I assume they must be good! =P They're set during WWII.... Sorry, that's the era you seem to be stuck in though, eh?
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of them! Perhaps, once I finally check out the book Faith recommended I'll have to try and find them! Thanks Josie!
