My name is Samantha and I am from Canada. OBVIOUSLY, I am a HUGE book fan. I will read anything, but I have a special place in my heart for historical books. I am always taking suggestions and accepting friends :) So if you're not a creeper...

Aw well you're definitely not near Buffalo then. :) Sometimes I forget how huge Canada is, because I've only really explored through Ontario. I've been dying to visit Montreal and Vancouver, though. Someday.

Hi Samantha, Welcome!
I'm from the US :) right across the border in Michigan. You are officially invited to my country for a visit...no you have to come check it out ;)
Never been to the states? Well you have no excuse since you're our neighbor. :) Although I couldn't even begin to suggest where to go because there are too many places! Someday, huh?

Hi Samantha -A few top favorite historicals that I've loved, which all had exceptional writing and research include
King Hereafter by Dorothy Dunnett a historical view of MacBeth
The Horsemen by Joseph Kessel (took place in Afghanistan)
A Free Man of Color by Barbara Hambly (set in New Orleans)
And most recently, a historical/modern crossover written with first hand experience, in Cornwall and the Barbary Coast, (1750) The Tenth Gift by Jane Johnson
I'd enjoy hearing of your favorites, too.
