Book Talk, etc. The Magic of Historical Fiction and Our Favorite Historical Subgenres
In Episode 195 of Book Talk, Etc., Tina and Hannah dive into the world of historical fiction and what defines the genre. We discuss our favorite historical fiction sub-genres, explore the historical settings we love, how often we reach for historical fiction, and what keeps us coming back to stories set in the past.
