Top 10 Historical Fiction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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…<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here is my Top 10 Historical Fiction:<\/p>\n

  2. Gone With the Wind<\/i><\/a> by Margaret Mitchell<\/li>\n
  3. The Color Purple<\/i><\/a> by Alice Walker<\/li>\n
