I really enjoyed Shannon Hale’s work. Have you read Book of a Thousand Days? It’s my favorite of her works. I find my book snobbery’s getting worst now a days, so much so that I get into reading slumps where nothing seems appealing. I’ve got some of Meagan Whalen Turner myself, sitting in my TBR pile, I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about her recently!

I just finished reading both Story Girl and Golden Road, and loved them. I discovered L.M. Montgomery when I was in college. That was over 30 years ago, so it’s hard to believe that I never got to reading these two before before now..

You’re right — there’s no plot. But I love them because of all the vivid little story bits.

Christine, I will definitely be checking these out of the library this summer. I am a huge fan of historical fiction. Have you had a chance to the read the 9 book series about Arthur and Camelot by Jack Whyte? It takes place in Britain with the fall of the Roman Empire, and there is no magic or wizards–he writes as if if were entirely plausible. The first book is The Skystone. I will admit, if one is not very interested in historical fiction, the first two books will read a little boring. But the story is amazing! I have read the first 7 books about 4 times. Every time I read it, I discover new things.

Thank you for your blog. I very much enjoy reading it!

These all look really good, I do enjoy some teen fiction, although I also quite like a frothy summer read too, to whizz through in a day and be transported to a fluffier (if less well written) world!

Oh, and I’m totally a Ravenclaw too. =D
