I enjoy reading from a variety of genres but will most often pick up a biography or historical fiction when bored. My most recent read that I would recommend to others is Ariel Lawhon's "I Was Anastasia" about the last royal family of Russia. I liked devices used to tell the story, the flow of language and well-developed characters as well as well-researched historical content.
Thank you for sharing your choices. It's always interesting to find other books others recommend.
