      The Terror by Dan Simmons. It’s an excellent historical suspense novel. It was a lot easier to follow what was going on after I noticed that each chapter heading started with the date. 😳😳

    2. * The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, historical fiction. This book has an interesting story-within-a-story-within-a-story structure with in-universe newspaper excerpts.

      * Nova by Samuel R. Delany, sci fi

      * Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, a sci fi classic. Do be aware [there is one notable historical inaccuracy](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/f6rspv/in_slaughterhouse_five_vonnegut_gives_an_estimate/) even though Vonnegut was personally present at the historical event described in the text.

      * Stealing Buddha’s Dinner by Bich Min Nguyen, a memoir. Many, many years ago I went to a speech by the author and there was time for the audience to ask questions, and I asked how she decided what order to put each section in, since they aren’t chronological but they totally work. Tragically, I’ve forgotten what her answer was!

      * The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin, fantasy

    3. * This is How You Lose the Time War
      * The Starless Sea
      * The Psychology of Time Travel
      * Middlegame
      * Jane, Unlimited
