Historical Reads That Surprised Me (In A Good Way)

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Surprised Me

I thought of ten books(plus a 100 more) that surprised me but in a good way! These are ones that surprised me with the many unique historical details. All of these are historical fiction and while I didn't necessary LOVE all of them, they are books I won't forget because of the history within the pages. 

Wow. This book blew me away with history I never had even heard of happening. A must read.

This is French Revolution history and it was fascinating to read. 

This is set in a French colony in Louisiana. I learned a ton and it is simply a great story.  

This book will rip your heart out but the history surrounding the Pacific Theater in WWII makes this book a must read. It should have been a best seller. 

The Native American history in this entire series is completely fascinating and I ended up doing further research because I was so into the history of it!

This book talked about spices and plants etc. coming into the USA. It is set in Washington D.C. and was a very interesting read. 

This book has become wildly popular. I didn't love it BUT the historical aspects were so interesting and I am glad the author shed a light on this time period.

This has unique WWII history. All of Melanie Dobson's books have surprised me with their historical details. 

This one has a bit of history of Yosemite National Park. I thought the historical tidbits were most interesting!

Another WWII setting and in the concentration camps. I will never forget this book.

My Thoughts

I was pleasantly surprised while watching this Easter special. It is perfect for kids while holding to the truth of the Bible. There are a few things that were left out, such as Pilate offering Barabbas instead. I think it is important for these videos not to take the place of the Bible because they simply can't. But I do think they can show children a good visual of the different aspects and stories that are in the Bible. It will create conversations that would hopefully encourage parents and kids to open their Bibles and study deeper.

 Minno has so many shows that I was surprised! I am eager to watch more than just this Easter one. I think it could be well worth the cost to become a member if you are wanting clean content for children.

Overall I recommend checking out this Easter video with your young ones! I found it to be worth the watch!  

Many thanks to Minno for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions  are 100% my own.
