Historical fiction is probably my favorite genre. I love every flavor of it: realistic historical fiction, historical fantasy, historical horror, dual timelines, family sagas. I even read history nonfiction.
Today, I'm going to recommend some realistic historical fiction. These are fiction stories set in the past with no magical elements. Here are 10 that I've read and obsessed over in the last few years.

Who's your favorite fictional heroine? I have so many that I couldn't narrow it down to a reasonable number for a blog post. To save my own sanity, I decided to choose characters from modern classic literature. (Modern classic means "popular and published after WWII.") So, here are my 10 favorite modern classic heroines.

Way back in February 2022, I made a 5-star TBR predictions post. I picked a variety of popular books that I hadn’t read yet. They sounded like my kind of stories, so I thought I’d love them and give them all 5 stars.
During the adventure that was 2022 (and January 2023), I read the books. Did I give them 5 stars? Let’s find out.

It took over a month, but I have searched the Internet and read, watched, or listened to over 200 "Best Books Of 2022" lists. Why would I waste my time doing this? Because I'm insufferably nosy and want to know what everybody is reading. (Seriously, I've strained my neck trying to see what strangers on a train are reading.) I also have a bad case of FOMO. What if there's an awesome book in the world that everybody knows about except me? I can't let that happen!
While I was perusing the lists, I jotted down the titles of books I saw multiple times. Then I looked them up on Goodreads and picked 10 that I want to read. That's what I'm going to show you today.
