Note: I am posting this early because you may need to visit a library to find your July read.
The month of July. It conjures up visions of summer, copious vacation time, beach reading, Harry Potter (on the 21st), parades and fireworks. We celebrate our country's independence from England and this year, we also celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in 1607.
Our July read will reflect these historical events, as the focus in our fiction this month will be the setting. Choose any work of fiction with a historical setting in America (or Great Britain) between 1607 (Jamestown) and 1789 (ratification of Constitution).
Although finding your book may be a challenge, any fiction leaves your genre choice wide open. You may choose a classic, a young adult novel, a romance, a mystery, a historical novel, etc. Try to choose a book you've not read before (or at least one you've not read in a very long time).
The idea is to learn something new about that time period and to appreciate and be more aware this month of our country's remarkable history.
Happy hunting and happy reading!
