Thank you so so much for these recs. Several of these I haven’t heard of. And that cover of Carolina Built is stunning.

Great to see historical fiction, including written by black authors! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I also have been immersing myself slowly in historical fiction books. 📚

I love historical fictions books. I just finished Yellow Wife. Great novel. I’m passing it around to all my friends. 👍🏻

I love-love-love the Davenports and I pre-ordered the second book which comes out on my birthday. Treat for me! 🤗 I"m currently reading the series of HF books by Vanessa Riley : Island Queen, Sister Mother Warrior & Queen of Exiles.

Heathers!!! I watched that so many time growing up. Christian Slater was that guy in the late 80’s early 90’s! If you get a chance check out Pump Up the Volume.

I LOVE historical fiction too so I’m here for all the recommendations! Not 3 copiessss!! 😂 I need to read The Yellow Wife! It’s been on my physical bookshelf since this summer!!

I agree on Carolina Built. Great story, but the “umph” was missing. I LOVED Praise Song for the Butterflies. So heartbreaking. I am a huge BLM fan. She is such a fantastic writer. I am excited to read her new book next year.

I also read Carolina Built, and I agree it was a good book, but it was a bit flat. 3/5
