<\/p>\n

My very first love of a genre came when I was quite a young reader and I fell in love with The Little House on the Prairie series as well as the Dear America series. I fell headfirst into a love of historical fiction that has never really left all these years later. <\/p>\n

I love diving into the nooks and crannies of history and getting a new perspective on an event\/time period or a historical person. And, let me tell you, this year there are a lot of new historical fiction books coming out in 2025 that will be perfect for a little armchair time travel into the past.<\/p>\n

I feel like there is such an array of time periods to dive into which is exciting because sometimes I feel like certain time periods are over-saturated and it\u2019s hard to find many books outside of those (but also totally guilty of gravitating to a lot of them naturally haha). <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get to all these new and upcoming historical fiction releases! I\u2019ve just highlighted the ones for early 2025 and will bring you more for the second half of the year!<\/p>\n

Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine
Out February 4, 2025<\/h3>\n

Setting:<\/strong> 1860-1861 Alabama<\/p>\n

One of my most anticipated historical fiction books for sure especially since it has a dash of magical realism\/supernatural.

I read the author\u2019s note and it really hit me right in the heart.<\/p>\n
