P<\/span>art drama, part truth, with a reach that expands the universe, historical fiction could become your next obsession \u2013 unless of course it already is.<\/p>\n

Without question, reading allows your inner child to thrive, and historical fiction is a unique way to grasp the past and embrace the future. A way to get comfortable in your skin and see different paths.<\/p>\n

When I think about reading, I always feel the urge to browse the latest historical fiction books first. I don\u2019t bristle at other genres and read them all, but historical fiction makes a stronger impact and is by far my favorite.<\/p>\n

Although not exactly an exotic vacation, this genre lets me explore a plethora of awe-inspiring worlds, from my own backyard (NYC) to jungles, small one-of-a-kind villages, and intriguing cultures.<\/p>\n

Some would say, the type of books one reads is defining, but I\u2019m not so sure this is true. <\/span><\/h2>\n

Maybe it\u2019s more that books are like mirrors, reflecting your hopes.\u00a0A quick Google search says historical fiction \u201cbrings the past to life,\u201d \u201cmakes learning history fun\u201d and \u201cprovides insight into influential people of our past.\u201d All true. But is there more to it? Absolutely.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an emotional reader and a resolute romantic. I adore books that shake up emotions or bring on waves of passion, books that challenge convictions and show the wrongs of history.<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m also hopelessly enamored with the social customs of the past; everyone was just so polite, so abiding of the rules, so unforgiving of infractions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I say this without judgment- it\u2019s simply an observation- but living in NYC means experiencing the darker side of crowd mentality and reading historical fiction, is a short reprieve.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I never knew reading could be both informative and engrossing until I discovered\u00a0historical fiction.<\/em><\/span> Of course, this is coming from someone who, if given a chance would fill her hours and days reading.<\/p>\n
