I think it is safe to say that I will not be running out of books anytime soon, especially of the eBook variety. Earlier today I started perusing the Historical Fiction books and found four that stuck out to me. Two of the authors I have read before, and the other two books just looked good.
The four I got were:
-Egg 'n Spoon by Gregory Maguire
-Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut
-The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg
-The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
Those of you who follow along with the books I read, can you tell which are the two authors I've read before?
Also,for all you book readers out there who read historical fiction I have a question. Do you know of any books that have to with people coming over from Sweden or Norway?

The Emigrants Series by Vilhelm Moberg has to do with Swedish Emigrants.
"The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes" sounds interesting. I am going to look into it.

I was going to say The Emigrants but was beaten to the punch. But I can add the books were made into the movies The Emigrants and The New Land in 1971 and 1972 which were acclaimed in the day. I have read all Vonnegut.
