I am reading several books now but my favorite series is by CJ Sansom who has a PhD in History and has written excellent books for The Shardlake Series that brings Tudor history to life. Fascinating and really shows you the power struggles within the king’s court.
For lighter contrast I just read Anna Quindlen “Still Life with Bread.” It is light but not silly.

I am on book 6 of the Daisy Gumm Majesty series by Alice Duncan. Delightful mysteries and deals with a lot of real life issues in post WWI Pasadena, CA, USA. I've set up a fan page. And Alice regularly sends messages.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
I love historical fiction. Started slow, then I couldn't put it down. About the women who did heroic and everyday things in occupied France during wwII

next book gobbled down: Do not say we have nothing by Madeleine Thien. Again, epic historical fiction, China, from Mao to Tienanmen Square focusing on the Party's influence on music and people.

I got a surprise in my stocking, Jan Karon's "Bathed in Prayer" book. It's excerpts from Father Tim's prayers in the Mitford series books. It' really good. Each one tells a little background story, then whatever he prays. It's like reading all of the books over again.
