It appears this month is mostly all about historical reads. There's been some good ones coming out lately! Next month I am starting to read all the beach reads (can you believe it!), so meanwhile, I am going to enjoy being transported to different times in history. Are any of these books on your TBR list?
Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan
I actually don't know much about the "Titanic of the South" otherwise known as the steamship that sank in 1838 with a lot of Savannah's best aboard. Savannah is one of my favorite cities, so I am looking forward to reading this historical novel.
Band of Sisters by Lauren Willig
I am a big fan of Willig, especially the novels she writes with Karen White and Beatriz Williams. I am looking forward to reading this historical novel all about a group of women from Smith College who help out in World War I. I love that it's based on a real life story.
Good Eggs by Rebecca Hardiman
This debut novel follows an Irish family through three generations. I love a good family drama and I heard this one has some humor in it, too.
The Last Apothecary by Sarah Penner
This book has received some great early reviews and I am looking forward to this historical mystery with strong female protagonists.
Sunflower Sisters by Martha Hall Kelly
I really enjoyed Lilac Girls, so I've had my eye on this historical novel which follows Caroline's ancestor as a Union nurse during the Civil War.
Eternal by Lisa Scottoline
Rome during WWII? Yes, please! I'm looking forward to checking out Scottoline's first historical novel perhaps while I am enjoying a glass of red.
What do you hope to read this month? Are any of these books on your TBR list? Let me know in the comments below.
