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.

Hana’s Suitcase was a book I read last week that you might like.
Have you read anything else by Diana Wynne Jones? If not, can I recommend ‘Hexwood’ and ‘Fire and Hemlock’.
Actually, I’ve read both of those and about, uh…12? more.
(I’ve reviewed those two on this blog, as well!)
I don’t think I’ve ever read “Hitler” and “cheering me up” in the same sentence before.
