September's genre is Historical Fiction! These books, obviously, are set in the past and can vary from recent past (like the 1960s and 1970s) to several centuries ago (1700s). These kinds of books appeal to all manner of readers based on place, time period, & character backgrounds. It's a way to travel back in time to a personally unfamiliar (or favorite) era and experience someone else's life for a while. Equal parts entertaining & informative, these books never cease to please a reader because of the amount of variety available. Some people prefer to read about certain eras or time periods, while others prefer certain places to be predominately featured. No matter what you're looking for, you're sure to find something to like. (adapted from the Teen Genreflecting, 2nd edition)
I enjoy a wide variety of historical fiction books ranging from:
- Anna Godbersen's The Luxe series
- 17th century Salem, Massachusetts (Time of the Witches)
- The 1960s are always fun (Purple Daze)
- And pretty much anytime there was a struggle (Ten Cents a Dance, The Inheritance)
