Goal - 24 books
Next up - Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs - It's YA but it seems to be well reviewed by old adults so I'll give it a shot. Even if it does turn out to be a simplistic at least it will be a quick read allowing me to finish my 14th book and stay on track for my reading goal.
I'm stumped on what to read. Started The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (there's some light-hearted reading), decided I couldn't just yet coming off of Unbroken. Then I started reading a fluff book about wacky American history. Got about 1/2 way through and decided I wanted to read a story. Then started a book about Victorian Life but it's not a story but papers and newsprint and such.
I don't know where to go from here. Help!! Not really feeling in a mystery or thriller mood. Maybe a period piece that has a bit of a scandal to it.
I wish I could help but I doubt you want to read about young Christian women, I mean we are talking 15, she gets to be 20 and married but still thinking you would not like it. But best of luck.
Is that a part of the Christy Miller series?
HEY!!! Who the heck are you calling OLD???

You can read something by Phillippa Gregory. Historical fiction, yet light. Very scandalous!

The Other Boleyn Girl seems to be her most widely popular. It is a good read.
The Other Boleyn Girl is great. I'm currently reading The Boleyn Inheritance. So far so good. It's about Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard, Henry the 8th's fourth and fifth wives respectively.
Thank you soooo much for the recommendation! I bought this last night, which for me is huge because I'm cheap when it comes to books. It has been such a great read so far. I didn't want to stop but when 1:30am rolled around I figured I'd better! This is exactly the type of book I was looking for. Thanks again!
