Most of my "favorites" aren't books, they're authors. I'll usually read anything they write, if I haven't already read everything they'vel have the book. I ended up changing my major to print journalism.
Thank you for the recommendations! I like to read historical fiction as well.

Some of my favorites in history that come to mind:

The Mayflower, Nathaniel Philbrick
Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy - Karen Abbott
George Washington’s Secret Six, Brian Kilmeade
