One of my favorite literary genre is historical fiction. I have read quite a lot in recent years, and I thought I would share with you my top 10 favorites. Of course, I haven’t read all historical fiction available out there, so there might be great books that would deserve to be on this top 10 list. That’s why I will update this list from time to time. When I do, I will share it again with you. I will also make other Top 10 lists in the future, so make sure you come back to my blog regularly…

Cécile Sune was born in Lyon, France, and her obsession with books started when she was 14. Her grandparents had lent her Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, and she spent part of the summer indoors reading. Needless to say, her tan didn't really improve that year!
