Over the past five years as we’ve found our blogging voices, it’s been fun to see distinctive patterns emerge. Ana Brazil is a trained historian, and her posts are full of meaty facts and helpful resources. “Fifty States of Historical Fiction” highlights a work of historical fiction from all fifty states. I immediately jumped to her pick for Idaho—where I was born and raised—and discovered a new author and novel to enjoy. Same with her selection for California where I’ve lived most of my life. I never fail to learn something new from Ana’s posts and that’s why I’ve selected this post as one of my favorite blogs of the past five years.
