If anyone loves historical fiction and is open to a great read. "Inamorata" by Megan Chance is one interesting read, definitely proved to me that you can't judge a book by cover. I loved this book.

If you like mysteries there’s a fun series by Victoria Thompson called The Gaslight Mysteries that takes place in the Victorian Age. I also remember loving The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory.

If you love historical mysteries and are also a fan of classic writers like Charles Dickens, I recommend The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. The fact that it is still in print after 150 years says something about the skill of the writer. It has lots of unexpected twists and turns with some really interesting characters.

I love the Book Thief and The Tattooist of Auschwitz for WW2 historical fictions.
