September Prompt: Time After Time

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

In September, the Book Club trivia (found here) is focusing on Historical Fiction. Since Between the Pages is a place of general discussions which might be inspired by a particular book, but then extends to wider applications, we thought it would be fun for you to compare a couple of books which are of the genre 'Historical Fiction' with each other.

Find a couple of books who fit in that category and compare them. What makes them fit in that category? Are they similar to each other or is one a comedy and the other a horror story? Contrast the approaches taken to their time periods: are they lighthearted or more serious? Is there a lot of factual information in there about the time period? If you compare them with words, please have your write-up be of at least 100 words.

If you choose to make a graphic, please keep it to 600x600 or less. Don't just show the cover of the books but have some indication in your graphic which gives a clear indication about the differences and similarities that they have. (See writing prompt above.) Write a brief description of what it contains under your creation.

If you are discussing spoilers, please remember to make use of the spoiler tags i.e. this is how to show a spoiler
