Top Ten Tuesday: Books on Your Syllabus

Hello Poetteers,

 Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. The topic today is what books would be on the syllabus if you taught historical fiction. 









Which of these books have you read? What other historical fiction novels would be on your list? What class are you teaching? Link up so I can check out your posts! 

 Thank you,

 Fida

Excellent way to own this Top Ten Tuesday Topic. Mine is not so refined however, I came at it with short stories, which I do think is different.

My TTT which isn't actually a list and shh... I have 11 short stories on my not list today.

Cute graphics! I need to read The Book Thief! It's been sitting on my TBR pile for forever. I also really want to check out Out of the Easy. Great list!

Love Between Shades of Grey, I read it recently and it was amazing! Will probably read Out Of The Easy now, since Between Shades of Grey was so good. The Book Thief is wonderful, one of my favourite books ever. Code Name Verity is one I still need to read, I have it, but just haven't read it yet.

Love this list! Code Name Verity and The Book Thief have been on my list for ages, but the others look really interesting too. Adding Mornings in Jenin and Sarah's Key to my TBR :D

I read The Book Thief (too slow) and To Kill A Mockingbird. Not a big fan. I do need to read Code Name Verity and Kite Runner still. They're on the list.

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
