Do you like to read historical fiction or books on
history? I recently went to a History
Reader’s Advisory Workshop at SELCO and learned about a useful websites and
other sources.
Historical Fiction overlaps with many other genres. In addition to what we commonly think of as
historical fiction, there is historical
romance, historical mysteries, historical
Christian fiction, and even historical westerns. Some readers care more about the historical
content. Others are concerned with the
amount of realism in the book. Others
focus on the pacing, the type of character, the characterization, the subject
and theme, the dialog and language. A good site to go to for historical fiction is
This site provides a good way to find a book during a
certain time or place. Another very
useful database is EBSCO NOVELIST. It is available through our website under e library. You can search by author, title, subject,
character name, etc. For historical
novels, you can search by place, time
period, or event, such as the Civil War.
This is a great website for both students and adults.
Do you like to read historical nonfiction? You might enjoy historical biography,
historical true crime, histories of places
