Historical fiction is, arguably, a book that takes place at least 50 years before the publication date. So, for books published in 2025, they would need to be set in 1975 or earlier. However, we're not going to be a stickler for that. It's just a general idea. (see that "arguably" up there?)

Post up to 5 books in the historical fiction genre.
