AllDebooks I will definitely like to read more non-fiction of this time period 2y

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! 2y

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! 2y

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

As Meat Loves Salt (Revised)

majkia Not my favorite time period so unless I find a book in my TBR already, probably not any time soon. 2y

Cuilin @majkia valid 👍hope you‘ll enjoy August‘s Roman civilization prompt. 2y

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin that‘s the one I bailed on. Just wasn‘t in the mood for something that intense 2y

rubyslippersreads Yes. I want to read The King‘s General, plus I‘d like to read some novels by Stella Riley. 2y

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk absolutely valid. Better luck next time. 2y

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. 2y

Cuilin @bookandbedandtea that‘s a success in my book. 2y

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

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. 2y

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!! 😂😂 2y

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

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) 2y

Cuilin @dabbe thanks Denise 3/5 stars for

As Meat Loves Salt

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? 🤩🤗😍 2y

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. 2y

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

King's Daughter

AllDebooks @Deblovestoread it is highly recommended 👌 2y

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

An Instance Of The Fingerpost

AllDebooks @jenniferw88 thanks for the recommendation 😀 2y

AllDebooks @ChaoticMissAdventures hope you like it. I do love a good chunkster 2y

Deblovestoread @dabbe Love the spreadsheet idea. 4.5 🌟

Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague

dabbe @AllDebooks Got it; thanks! 🤗 2y

dabbe @Deblovestoread Got it; thanks! 🤗 2y

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

dabbe @rwmg So a 4/5, right? 😊 2y

rwmg @dabbe 4.5/5 2y

dabbe @rwmg Got it; thanks! 😊 2y

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

Forever Amber

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures Got it; thanks! 🤗 2y

jenniferw88 4.75

The King's General

dabbe @jenniferw88 Got it; thanks! 🤗 2y

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

Cuilin @Karisimo 👍 Fawkes looks interesting too. 2y

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. 🙂 2y

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. 2y

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. 2y

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

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

Here's our spreadsheet link:
