3 Things to Brighten Your Wednesday
#1. First off, thanks so much to everyone who suggested books for my little sister. You have no idea how helpful you’ve been! Thank you for filling both my birthday and Christmas shopping lists with books because in this household, books are a staple of both occasions.
#2. I’m posting over at We Heart Reading again. This time, it’s a review of Caesar by Adrian Goldsworthy. It’s about, you guessed it, Julius Caesar. It’s my first time reviewing non-fiction, so go on over and check it out! Especially if you like history.
#3. A little while ago when I wrote my post on things authors should know about bad reviews, I had John Scalzi’s attitude toward them in mind. For the release of his new book, Redshirts, he has posted some samples from one-star reviews he received without flipping out at the reviewers. This is how bad reviews should be handled, people. Go and check them out if you need a good laugh while being informed.
I Need Your Help
Okay, so my little sister’s birthday is coming up and I have absolutely no idea what to get her.
Here in my household, books are usually pretty common. Usually I’ll pick her up one of the books I read and liked but is still age appropriate for her. She is only twelve and a half after all. Unfortunately, she’s already read all of the age-appropriate books I own! That’s where you come in.
I desperately need some book recommendations! She’s pretty mature for a twelve-year-old, having read The Hunger Games trilogy, the Darkest Powers trilogy as well as some of Pauline Gedge‘s novels. She loves fantasy and historical fiction, especially when there’s royalty involved, although she’ll read anything she can get her hands on.
However, please tell me of any mature content in your recommendation, which includes language, violence and sexuality. If you can, please tell me the extent of the mature content as well (explicit, brief, mild, etc).
So, do you know any good books for her? Please tell me in the comments below!
