Loved the picture of your little model showing off the book :) These days YA books mostly seem to be about vampires and / or romance and so it is interesting to know that this book is about friendship and war.

Yes, Trish. So true. That's why I rarely read YA. I assure you that there is none of that. It is also free of teenage angst. It's really more YA along the lines of the Book Thief. I'm not even sure why it has that designation aside from the fact that the main characters are young adults.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-511614037801367562012-06-22T13:38:57.109+01:002012-06-22T13:38:57.109+01:00Yes, you and your adorable little daughter have so...Yes, you and your adorable little daughter have sold me. Is she reading through osmosis? Elle does that too (holding books up to her forehead). <br /><br />I've heard this one talked about SO much but it wasn't until recently that I learned it was WWII. I admit I avoid anything YA as soon as I hear YA because I feel it's going to be all post-apocalyptic angel winged fire and brimstone with vampires. This, though, sounds more up my alley. I have heard about the slow beginning from several people so if I get to it soon then I'll remember to push through.<br /><br />Good to see you rambling again. :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158601836174551552.post-23847028525983694352012-06-20T15:17:37.830+01:002012-06-20T15:17:37.830+01:00I'll bring you my copy when I come.

I can't stand that. The ending of Anna Karenina was spoiled for me and that kind of bummed me out.<br /><br />This review is pretty safe. I don't think I mention anything you don't already come across in the first few pages. It's tough, though, because you never know what could spoil it for you.

I hate when know too much! <br /><br />The worst case was when I got a free copy of Where the Red Fern Grows and I had zip idea what it was about, just that it was a beloved classic. Then someone saw I had it and told they cried like a baby when the dog dies. I was so mad!Carehttp://bkclubcare.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
