My Favorite Era

I've always loved historical fiction. I think I've probably read from just about every era in history. My favorite happens to be the Great Depression Era in the United States. I guess the first I remember reading about it was through Grace Livingston Hill's books. My mother read those and I read them as well when I was younger.
I think I understand now why I enjoy reading about that period. Because Read more of this blog post »
