Latest Sarah's Bookshelves Live transcripts

Best of Historical Fiction with Elizabeth Barnhill | Ep. 236

September 30, 2026

Sarah Dickinson (0:09)

Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm your host, Sarah Dickinson. Join me every other week as we get real and sometimes a bit snarky about books and reading. Let's get rolling.

Welcome to the latest installment of our Best of series. We bring on guests who are great evangelizers for a particular genre that Catherine, Chrissy, and I may not read as much of. Our experts are expert readers of a particular genre, not industry experts necessarily.

Elizabeth Barnhill (1:36)

Oh, Sarah, I'm so glad to talk to you. I've had so much fun doing a deep dive into all these historical fiction books that have brought me so much joy over the years and ones that I recommend all the time. So thank you for having me back.

Sarah Dickinson (1:50)

I always love talking to you. Everybody loves hearing from you. And your list of top 10, I've only read two of them. And I had not heard of a lot of them. So this is going to be a good bust up your TBR episode.
