    American Royals did a great job with alternate history too, it was more subtle than Wolf by Wolf, but the history buff in me loved how Katharine McGee had an answer for those changes

    I’m so glad you read and loved Wolf by Wolf and Lovely War! They both are fantastic with such great authors to support. Wolf by Wolf is one of my favorite books and Lovely War was incredibly impactful. Hades was my favorite character in the story. I met Julie Berry in November 2019 and she was so sweet.

    I read 15 books in March, which was good. Because of my March Mystery Novel Month, I read just mystery books. So I read 12 mystery books, two books from the Sacconejolys (a UA-cam family in the UK) which was to celebrate Alessia Sacconejoly's 3rd bday on the 30th and a affirmation book called Start Your Day with Katie by Katie Piper, which is a book on qoutes, if that makes any sense. I really enjoyed reading the mystery books, I was hoping to read more but because of the situation in the world, it was stressful, so hopefully April will be a good month ❤❤❤. My favourite book was Sleep by C L Taylor 😘😘

    For American Royals the alternative history part is really bugging me partly due to the fact Congress did offer George Washington a crown but he denied it because he was a humble man. To write history differently you have to take away who George Washington was a man. I think I just don’t handle alternative history well. 😂😂

    • @elizabethrosa1335
      @elizabethrosa1335 4 роки тому

      Also, George Washington and Martha never had kids - the author never explained how THAT changed, which bugged me the most reading the book. This read like a Americanization of a fanfic about The Royals (TV show). I don't understand why more people haven't pointed out the plotholes.

    • @jacquelinenicole7293
      @jacquelinenicole7293 4 роки тому

    As it seemed that you enjoyed Wolf by Wolf so much I think you'll like a tv series about an alternative history where the Nazi won the war. It's called a The Man in the High Castle. It's SO good and interesting. Beware though that sometimes is pretty difficult to watch.
