Well, I’m not very familiar with London, so those errors didn’t bother me. Plus, maybe they couldn’t walk certain routes because they knew those roads would be bombed? And of course the characters would know about the Jubilee Line because they were coming from the future, even though it hadn’t been built yet in the ’40s. Eh, I’m obviously just making excuses because I liked the books. But it’s good to know that people more familiar with London would catch some inaccuracies!

Wow, I’m excited about your genre too! I used to avoid more realistic books and as a result, I’ve only recently discovered that I love women’s fiction. Your selection of women’s fiction with paranormal elements sounds completely awesome. Thanks for sharing your recommendations!

Oh, I loved The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle when I was younger. While I read a lot of YA, I think it’s mostly at the older end and doesn’t include much that could be considered middle grade. Your list of books has made me want to go back and revisit some of my favorites though Thanks for sharing your recommendations!

I’ve actually only read The Hunger Games out of your recommended books but the others are all ones I’ve heard great things about. Thanks for sharing your recommendations

I agree completely that every genre deserves a chance I love trying to read more widely and that’s part of why I was so excited to host this challenge. It’s actually brought to my attention a number of genres I haven’t given much of a chance, particularly horror and christian fiction. I haven’t read many historical mysteries either, but it sounds like an interesting genre. Thanks for sharing your recommendations and welcome to book blogging!

It’s close enough to a genre for me I’ve not read any of these but I’ve heard good things about a lot of them. You also had my attention at “meticulously researched” and narrative nonfiction! Those are some of my favorites sorts of books. Thanks for sharing your great recommendations!

I love how specific this genre is! I honestly hated Crime and Punishment because all I took away from it was that horrible dream with the horse. However, I adored Anna Karenina, so I’d be up for trying some more Russian lit Thanks for sharing your recommendations!
