AllDebooks I will definitely like to read more non-fiction of this time period 9mo

jenniferw88 Yes, I would. I'm trying to write a mystery series set just after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, so need a good understanding of what came previously! 9mo

jenniferw88 @AllDebooks I can recommend Anna Keay! I've read The Last Royal Rebel by her, and am currently reading this, which tied quite nicely into the aftermath of the events in The King's General

The Restless Republic

Bookwormjillk I bailed on my book for this month and haven‘t gotten to another one yet. I‘m going to see what you all liked and try again! 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk 👍 not sure I‘d recommend mine, though I‘m glad I read it. It was quite bleak.

As Meat Loves Salt (Revised)

9mo

majkia Not my favorite time period so unless I find a book in my TBR already, probably not any time soon. 9mo

Cuilin @majkia valid 👍hope you‘ll enjoy August‘s Roman civilization prompt. 9mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin that‘s the one I bailed on. Just wasn‘t in the mood for something that intense 9mo

rubyslippersreads Yes. I want to read The King‘s General, plus I‘d like to read some novels by Stella Riley. 9mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk absolutely valid. Better luck next time. 9mo

bookandbedandtea Yes! I wasn't entirely thrilled with my book so want to try something else. But it did have me researching and it created curiosity in me to learn more so it was a success from that standpoint. 9mo

Cuilin @bookandbedandtea that‘s a success in my book. 9mo

Deblovestoread All UK history fascinates me so it is likely I will find myself reading in this time period again. Very interested in @AllDebooks choice and

The King's General

9mo

Itchyfeetreader I would be open to it - loved the book of wonders a few years ago. I kind of like how there is potential for much more in this period. Thanks for running @Cuilin I might never have figured that out if I hadn‘t signed up to join in. 9mo

TheBookgeekFrau Yes! The older I get the fascinated I get with history. It's like I can suddenly see the bigger picture and how things connect and ripple through time. If my HS history teachers could see me now!! 😂😂 9mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I have added @AllDebooks pick to my TBR, not sure when I will get to it, as it is fairly lengthy, and I have a few of those I want to get already by end of year, but it sounds so intereting!

An Instance Of The Fingerpost

9mo

dabbe Yes, especially since people posted their titles. You know, here's a thought: I would love to put together a spreadsheet for us listing all of the cool books we read during each specific time period. Would anyone be interested in that? If so, reply to this comment with your tagged book, and I'll put together a spreadsheet! 🤗🤗🤗 I'll start here with mine. 3.5/5 ⭐️s. (edited) 9mo

Cuilin @dabbe thanks Denise 3/5 stars for

As Meat Loves Salt

9mo

dabbe @Cuilin Perfect idea to give your score, too. If people want this, is it okay if I make you editor of the document since you're our fearless leader? 🤩🤗😍 9mo

Cuilin @dabbe I am more of a feel the fear and do it anyway leader! 😂 but yes we can be co-editors. I love the idea of this spreadsheet. 9mo

sblbooks Yes, I hope to get to this one I found on Libby, soon.

King's Daughter

9mo

AllDebooks @Deblovestoread it is highly recommended 👌 9mo

AllDebooks @dabbe this is a great idea. Mine was a firm favourite at 4⭐️

An Instance Of The Fingerpost

9mo

AllDebooks @jenniferw88 thanks for the recommendation 😀 9mo

AllDebooks @ChaoticMissAdventures hope you like it. I do love a good chunkster 9mo

Deblovestoread @dabbe Love the spreadsheet idea. 4.5 🌟

Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague

9mo

dabbe @AllDebooks Got it; thanks! 🤗 9mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread Got it; thanks! 🤗 9mo

rwmg @dabbe A great idea. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 1/2 for my book

I haven't come across much fiction about this period, but I am open to reading more biographies and history.

A Parcel of Patterns

9mo

dabbe @rwmg So a 4/5, right? 😊 9mo

rwmg @dabbe 4.5/5 9mo

dabbe @rwmg Got it; thanks! 😊 9mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe love the spreadsheet idea! Admittedly I still have 75 pages to go but I am saying 4.25⭐ for

Forever Amber

9mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures Got it; thanks! 🤗 9mo

jenniferw88 4.75

The King's General

9mo

dabbe @jenniferw88 Got it; thanks! 🤗 9mo

Karisimo I enjoy learning through reading so while it was fun to branch out, this time period isn‘t particularly interesting to me, so not likely to read more from this period. I would recommend the tagged though!

Fawkes: A Novel

9mo

Cuilin @Karisimo 👍 Fawkes looks interesting too. 9mo

thegreensofa I would like to. But so much of it has gore elements. And also a bit bleak. If I do, it will be Middle Grade again. After having a personal heavy start to 2023 I am not brave enough for dark stories at the moment. But I am definitely now interested in the time period. 🙂 9mo

Cuilin @thegreensofa I hear you. Mine was dark too and I needed a palette cleanser. Thanks for joining in. Hope your next one for #BIT will not be as bleak and the rest of the year will be brighter. 9mo

Jess861 I will definitely be trying to find some more books in this time frame. I read too much WWII historical fiction so it was nice to enter a different time period. 9mo

Mollyanna My book is the first in a trilogy, so I‘ll definitely be reading more. I‘d like to delve into some non-fiction about the time frame too. @dabbe great idea for the spreadsheet. I‘m not quite finished so I can come back and up date the rating but here‘s the title

The Ashes of London

9mo

dabbe @Mollyanna I have it on our spreadsheet; when you have a score, let me know! 🩵🖤💙
