Dive into these historical fiction books that are shorter than 300 pages! Selections here tried to stay away from historical fiction with fantasy or magical realism elements.

As always, open to any suggestions for additions to this list! 🙂

A list of Banned or Censored books (from around the world) that I want to read and form my own opinions about...

Complete! Every book longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction since it was founded in 1996, under its current title and previous sponsored titles of 'Orange' and 'Baileys' Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!

atmospheric historical novels about women, secrets, and the dangerous gap between what is shown to the world and what is true. It is often told through the lens of a significant object or artwork.

Pretty specific to what I have left, but could be useful to you if you're doing HRCYED 3. If you have questions on what prompt something is going to just leave a comment.

Novels that have art, galleries, museums etc. as their main theme. Preferably no biographical novels.

books all published in 1999. making this for a book club but check it out if you need your Y2K fix

please recommend an addition if you have one!
