Transporting myself to different eras and immersing myself in the past has always been an irresistible allure for my literary senses. Within the realm of literature, historical fiction stands as a bridge between worlds, offering a unique fusion of imaginative storytelling and the rich backdrop of bygone times. In this journey through the corridors of time, I often find myself spellbound by the authors who masterfully weave history into their narratives. Today I am sharing my favorite reads of 2023 — and yes, we still have four months left in the year. However, I have recently become enthralled with a new series (stay tuned) and don’t foresee picking up any books aside from the next one or two in that series for the rest of 2023.
