Historical Fiction Books I'll Always Recommend!

[@KaylasBookishVibes]

“drop everything Craig’s in trouble!” 😂 That’s how I felt seeing this pop up on my TL. Historical fiction is my favorite genre. Give me alll the recs 🥰

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

😂😂😂 historical fiction is really that gworl! It’s a 2 for 1 special when it’s done right

[@gabbylikestoread]

I own Pachinko and Homegoing! I love a good multigenerational family saga!

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Yesssss top tier historical fiction

[@xiomyra1]

The Last Dreamwalker is for me! Putting in my cart and on top of my TBR!

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Yessss and if you like that one Remembrance by the same author is also really good

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

Pachinko is on my tbr, I may need to move it up based on how much you liked it. I was considering adding the audiobook as well.

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Yes ma’am definitely the audiobook! This book is quite long and I remember enjoying the audio version

[@BookishIntrovert63]

I added Homegoing to my list. Some of my favorites are By Her Own Design by Piper Huguley, The First Ladies by Marie Benedict & Victoria Christopher Murray, Wild Women and the Blues, In the Face of the Sun by Denny S. Bryce. I’ve just started her most recent release with Eliza Knight titled Can We Be Friends and she also has a new one coming out this summer titled The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander. (NetGalley ARC). I love historical fiction because most times it takes me further down that rabbit hole and I want to learn more.

This is my favorite genre. Pachinko & Homegoing were excellent. I have got to Hold You Down yet.

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Okay good so we have similar taste. Hold you down whew 😥 get into it

[@Sonjaprince]

Thanks for sharing this! I read and LOVED Pachinko! Definitely one of my favorites. I read Transient Kingdom but didn’t love it. And I had no idea Tracy Brown passed away!! 😢 I have the book of hers you mentioned on my TBR.

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Yes, she had agreed to do an in-person interview with me like a month before she passed. I was completely in shock. She will forever be missed in the book community. See this is why I hesitate to pick up Transcendent Kingdom smh. Pachinko was just 👌🏾

[@allthingsbooked]

Stay with me sounds reallly good! I never even thought to consider the 90's as historical fiction lol 😩chile where has time gone

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Me neither until I started doing the math. I’m like wait hold up 😩 Stay with me is EVERYTHING

[@mamutshilanda9822]

I started listening to Pachinko a year ago, but never finished it. I might have to pick it up again. Homegoing is my favorite and only 5 star rated book. Nothing has come close to it in my reading journey. Even when the book of Negroes came out...I agree with you 100%! Hold you down was on my TBR twice already, but unfortunately, I have not gotten to it yet!🤭 stay with me!! eeeeeeek! that book is living free in my brain! that one and a spell of good things...lool everything you described was exactly how I felt!😂

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Okay so we’re on the same page! I really need to get back to a spell of good things. I keep starting and stopping at the exact same spot 🤦🏾‍♀️ I don’t think anyone can hold a candle to Homegoing. It deserved allll the awards.

[@DEBateBookz]

Oh gosh homegoing sounds like it’d be a hard read but so so good! Going on my tbr straight away

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Yessss 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@barbarabarnes7184]

I found a copy of homegoing,cant wait to read it

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Lucky you! I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@GloriaInPages]

Thank you for this! I've been wanting to get into this genre.

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

I hope you find some that you love. But once you read a good hist fic it can be addicting

[@ashleighlogansbooks]

Wow I love these recommendations!! Hold You Down caught my eye - I need to check it out!

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy it 💜💜

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Aria by Nazanine Hozar is a good family saga

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

Had to look this one up, I never heard of it. Abandoned baby…mother issues..secrets…I’m here for it. Thanks!

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

@@ChocolateCoveredPages you’re welcome. I think I bought it randomly and it was good

[@ubiquitousseymone]

I loved Pachinko!

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

It’s so good! I keep chasing books to get the same feeling I had when I read it

[@jadeddiamonds9983]

Dream walkers sounds good also. I’ve never heard of it.

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

It’s definitely one that’s flown under the radar

[@FrenchAlsabrooks]

Im super new to your channel. I absolutely adore your accent. Where are you from?

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

😂 I have an accent?? Well thank you. I’m from Brooklyn NY

[@FrenchAlsabrooks]

@@ChocolateCoveredPages You sound NY/ Caribbean though lol. I'm from Syracuse 😄

[@NsaDru-d1r]

Did you not absolutely hate the husband in Stay With Me? He let her lose her entire mind due to pride. When I think about that man, he is the only book character I ABHOR!

[@ChocolateCoveredPages]

lol oh for sure! That was sooo wrong
