Take a look at the books we got #12

Welcome to our twelfth week of joining in with blogger memes like In My Mailbox (IMM) at The Story Siren  and the new British-based Letterbox Love. Here we all share the books that we recently bought, borrowed or received through the post.
 


"Wow!" said Little M when she saw the cover of this book.  She even stopped what she was doing to have a good look at it.  Praise indeed for Ruth Eastham's The Messenger Bird, a book that we were delighted to win. The Messenger Bird is a story about a boy who is given a clue that was written during Word War II. This clue could lead to a trail that will help him to resuce his father. For any of you didn't have a look, The Messenger Bird blog tour was excellent, lots of interesting information all the way through it. Thanks to Scholastic for this copy.

And for review, Changeling. There's been a lot of hype around this as it's best-selling Philippa Gregory's YA debut. It’s 1453 and Isolde is being accused of witchcraft. Thank to Simon & Schuster for a review copy. I'm very curious about the plot and hope that Changeling lives up to the high expectations set by the hype.

    1. Other people who don't usually read historical fiction have said they enjoyed Changeling. It's not the sort of thing I usually read either but I am very curious about it :)

    1. I have very high expectations for The Messenger Bird. There have been some really good reviews on it too. And all of Ruth's blog posts about it were really well written, interesting and informative too. So it all bodes very well. Happy shopping, Alex :)
