I would absolutely recommend just about anything Mercedes Lackey wrote, especially the Tales from the Five Hundred Kingdoms and the Valdemar/Velgarth World Series. They're SO GOOD! And Wen Spencer's "A Brother's Price". It's a brilliant exploration of gender norms and gender-roles, with romance. Just saying. :)
ReplyDeleteYou could knock a few items off your list with just one very good book: The Rose Code by Kate Quinn. Set at Bletchley Park during WW2, it has over 500 pages you won't want to put down. It's a mystery or thriller (the mystery comes at the end), a book with a color in the title and possibly a few others on your list. It is FICTION, but with characters you will recognize (Prince Philip, for one) and some of it is based on true events. It's up to you to figure out which ones!
