Guest Posting Today
Well, it’s Friday and that means I’m guest posting over at 20four12, seeing as Caleb posted for me last Friday. Today I actually did a review because I’m trying to get back in the swing of things after publishing a week of articles. Prisoner of Dieppe by Hugh Brewster is part of the I Am Canada ‘diary’ series aimed at teenage boys. It is one of the few historical fiction books that has actually be looked over by an historian for accuracy as well, so you know it’s good! Go on and check it out.

So I got it into my head that next month, June, is going to be History Month here on The Mad Reviewer. What does that mean? Well, it means for one month I’m going to review only historical fiction and non-fiction history books that I love. Trust me, there’s going to be something for everyone here, even if you think you don’t like history. Some of my book reviews will be on books that got my dear little sister interested in history (for the full story, click here) as well as historical fiction books that I truly enjoyed. There’s going to be a lot of Carolyn Meyer, some Philippa Gregory, some Kathryn Lasky and even a Jack Whyte book review, so stay tuned! These books will take you to ancient Egypt, Tudor England, WWII, ancient Britain, Viking Scandinavia and many more places you’ve never even dreamed of.
I’m guest posting yet again! This time, it’s over at ForTheLoveOfBooks in which I review another fairytale retelling. This time it’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It’s aptly named Beastly and was a truly spectacular fail. I guess Alex Flinn needs to take a leaf out of Marissa Meyer’s book. If you’re interested in seeing me completely trash a book, here’s a link to the review: Beastly by Alex Flinn.
