The 52 Book Club: 2026 Challenge discussion

We're entering into WEEK EIGHT of our 2021 challenge! On the list, prompt #8 is "a book in the 900s of the Dewey Decimal system." While you don't have to complete the list in order, this prompt did get me thinking about history and time periods.

So, here's our question for the week -- what time period do you most enjoy reading about? (Fiction or non-fiction)

Definitely the Civil War! I even had family pics done at a Civil War battlefield a little over a year ago!

Hard to say since most of the 900 books I read are biographies. I just purchased “You Always Remember Your First” about George Washington. Love the title! I am considering using it for Prompt #8.
I have read Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and My Dear Hamilton. All of these take place around the American Revolution. I am also very interested in the Civil War/ Reconstruction period with particular interest in Abraham Lincoln and the horrors of Jim Crow that still impact current times.

I like Victorian London, and Ancient Greece & Rome

I love WW2 stories, especially when they deal with women's accomplishments/exploits. Just finished The Paris Library. Excellent novel. My next read is Code Name: Elise.

World War I or II, although I haven’t read any this year yet.

I haven't read much about it lately, but Renaissance Italy is an era I find interesting.

Currently, I'm really into the period between World War 1 and World War 2. I also love reading about the Regency period.
