Take a look at the books we've got #10

Weekly memes are a great way to share the books you're reading and to find out what books other people are reading too. We love taking part in them and there are two on Sundays that we particularly like: In My Mailbox and a 4 week old UK based Letterbox Love.

We have a first this week! 2 copies of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins in the house this week and they're already both being read at the same time (1 copy was bought for Little M as a gift and 1 copy was borrowed from a friend).  For those who don't know, it's the second title in The Hunger Games trilogy.

And we won a copy of All Fall Down by Sally Nicholls  (thanks to History Girls blog and Marion Lloyd Books); it came with a postcard too.It's a real-life dystopian of sorts as it is based in the historical setting of 1349 and The Black Death in England.  This was on our wishlist so we're delighted.

For review we received two titles that have been published by Oxford University Press this month (thanks OUP Children's!):

1) White Dolphin by Gill Lewis (author of the acclaimed Sky Hawk which Little M really enjoyed).  Lewis' stories have animals at their heart but are all about people, friendships and adventure too. 

2) Under the Cherry Blossom by Maya Healy which is set in Kai Province, Japan in 1216 and tells a story of two sisters whose family has been murdered and they have to disguise themselves as servants. This is the first book in a quartet. Book 2 in this quartet looks like it has been published simultaneously.
