Last night I finished:Songs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford
It was set in pre- and post-Depression era Seattle.
Finished Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder which goes from Ancient Greece to modern(ish) times mixing fact and fiction as it goes.
Let's add P.K. Pinkerton and the Pistol-Packing Widows, and The Case of the Deadly Desperados. Both set in Nevada ca. 1862.
I do hope you guys don't mind that I use kids' books. I read a lot of children's fiction, both professionally and for pleasure, so....

I logged your two reads under Historical Fiction but don't forget our Western category...
True! I'll put the next in the series in the Westerns. And you know, that category is the only reason I even admit to reading Louis L'Amour :D
Sam, I could argue that P&P isn't historical fiction. It's just old fiction :)
Finished:The Master Butchers Singing Club by Louise Erdrich
Setting is the years between the Great War and WWII.

Thanks Steph, I've now started a Western to try and fill that one too ;-)
