Option 5. Read a book with the genre Historical Fiction on the main book page that takes place during a time period that intrigues you.
Optional: State the time period and why you find it intriguing.
WW2 time period, which was my grandparent's generation. My grandfather lied about his age, enlisted, went to basic training, got malaria, and was discharged without ever seeing any action. His getting sick was a blessing - he lived to marry my grandmother and become a father to my mother. No one in his entire unit came home from the war alive.

Option 6. Look at the books you read between March 2014 and May 2014, find a book you read and really enjoyed, and read another book by the same author.
