TSS: August 9

The Sunday Salon.com This week has been turning out to be very stressful, what with my Macbook breaking down again and having to buy five books for one class. Also I discovered I neglected to put Southern Vampire Mysteries #9 on my books read list, and that’s messed up all my numbers. GAH. I haven’t even really felt like doing anything online or for my blog! Oh, horror.

Luckily these Hitler movie memes are cheering me up. Also some really good YA historical fiction I found lurking on the shelves of my library: the Cat Royal series by Julia Golding. We only have two, but maybe I can find the others on BookMooch or something– they’re really fun and exciting, with a feisty main character and a enough realism to make it interesting (but not depressing). If you like Avi’s historical fiction books, I think you’d like the Cat Royal books, too.
