When I was going through your post I was thinking about how I wouldn't have been able to read so many Tudor books in a row.... but then I realized I pretty much did the same for Alexander the Great historical fiction!

I could easily make my blog the Jewish-children's-book-blog. But I decided to keep it to mostly non-professional reading. Oh well. BTW as far as Rules for Saying Goodbye Goes, I'm sure it will come soon, and if not- no big loss, trust me! :-) I know what you mean about not pigeon-holing.

After several, they all start to meld together. When I am really on a historical fiction binge, I do worry about my blog becoming repetitive. Then I steer far away from it, but I always come back. I think that starting to get a lot of ARCs helps with that, too. Very few of the ARCs I receive outside of LT are in that category. I’m with you on the ultra-prolific authors.

Though I'm not sure I could ever read as much historical fiction as you do. Also - HOLLER for reading everything by the late-90s ultra-popular authors! LOL :) I’m hoping that as I start to write more about what I’m reading that my reading tastes will also expand, similar to yours.

After taking Readers Advisory though, I found that there is some REALLY good fiction out there. I've now been adding in literary fiction and memoirs to my non-fiction habit. I'm a huge believer that all reading is good reading, though, so I say whatever keeps you reading is great...although I also highly recommend moving out of the box for reading diversity!
