My first book for my first read-a-thon, The Reading Rush. I almost never read historical fiction but like this so far. Add me (same username) if you are also participating in the read-a-ton and tell me what you are reading! If you've read this book, what did you think of it? #thereadingrush #readathon #thefountainsofsilence #historicalfiction
rjsthumbelina I ended up LOVING this book. The early part can be a bit slow, but it's really engrossing once it picks up. And I loved that I learned so much about the time period that I hadn't known. Ruta Sepetys does her homework, for sure 4y
pareads @rjsthumbelina that‘s so good to hear! I read Salt to the Sea a few years ago and remember enjoying it. I do appreciate learning about history that I‘m not familiar with! 4y
Kimberlone I loved this book! Way better than the average YA, and an effective historical fiction on par with adult fiction. I learned so much about the period from this book! 4y
pareads @Kimberlone I‘m definitely enjoying it so far! Although it is long so I have a lot to read today 😅 4y
