Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
History of Queen Victoria (1/14/2017)
If you love history, you have to read this book. If you think this historical era is not your cup of tea, also try this novel. We meet a young lady who is not stucked up. We meet a lady with a heart of courage and fortitude. The author, Daisy Goodwin,writes this story as you have discovered a new best friend. The author makes you feel you are with Queen Victoria when she takes her carriage rides. When she has to choose with love, you would want to be with her and help her though. Again, this author really connects you with the Queen.

The book also has a character named Lord Melbourne. As the Queen calls him Lord M for her heart has fallen. Despite the age differences and despite his past, it is through Lord Melbourne that he teaches the Queen. He teaches by being direct. He taught her not only the policies of being a queen, but lessons that life give us. He also shows her respect. Do not forget the historical era this book is in. A queen as a women was rare. There was only one queen before her. His teachings helped her be a better queen.

This book is historical fiction, with romance, and suspense. This writer takes these three subjects and interwoven into one of the best historical fiction novels. This is a book that you will always remember.
Caught in the Revolution: Petrograd, Russia, 1917 - A World on the Edge
by Helen Rappaport
French Revolution (10/12/2016)
Do you love history? If so, this book is for you! This book was beautiful crafted. This book is taking the readers back to the time of 1917 in Petrograd, Russia. As most history buffs know this was a time that is better known as the French Revolution. This book makes a person feel they have traveled back in time. The author gives superb researched on this event.
An event that not only history buffs would love, folks that like to know about the culture of early Russia as well. When reading the first few sentences, you develop a love for this book. Yesterday, I was half way though the book. This is not a history book that starts off with a promise and then go into the abyss. This is story that provided answers about the French Revolution. Last night, I could not take the suspense anymore and I stayed up all night finishing this book. I have this book on my list of books to read again.

Are you looking for an actual history story that will take you into adventure? If so, this book is for you. Again, anyone that loves history should read this. If you already know about the French Revolution, or want to learn it, then grab this book! As history buffs, we know that despite our knowledge, we still are hungry to learn more. Yes, this book is like the French Revolution. Again, it is story that will make you feel as if you were there. That type of experience for any history buff is the best journey.
