I don't think I know the Cathy Ace series so am going to look into those too.

When I noticed the pub date for The Cuckoo in Spring, I decided to wait until the 1954 Club to review it! Isn't Literary Trails fun? It's not the type of book you read all at once but it is lovely to dip into. I hope you enjoy. I had to lend her other book to my mother because I realized I would not have time to read it before it was due. One of my libraries has no fines and the other seems to fine even it is closed so I have to be careful to keep them straight!<br /><br />I enjoyed the Angie Thomas but it takes a lot of mental adjustment to root for the drug dealer. I think it is the type of book to get from the library because I doubt you would reread it or lend it. It would be educational for my nephews that age to read it but I can't imagine they would unless it were assigned for school.<br /><br />Claire, it was a charming little book. You may feel at first, as I did, that it is strange to be reading about a family fleeing from Communists rather than Nazis because that is much more common in fiction (at least in the books I read). I came across it at the Harvard campus store where it was faced out. First, the cover caught my eye and then the author's name, which I recognized, although have never met her. I hope you enjoy it. <br /><br /><br /><br />CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-38814139753688294052022-04-07T21:00:22.175-04:002022-04-07T21:00:22.175-04:00How had I not yet heard of Which Way is Home?!?! ...How had I not yet heard of <i>Which Way is Home?</i>!?! I am usually so alert to books about Czechoslovakia so I'd delighted to know know about this - and my library hold has now, of course, been placed.

It is a trade paperback and looks just like new except for the owner's name on the title page. I have looked through it a bit already and I can tell I will enjoy it.

I have read A Drink of Deadly Wine by Kate Charles, and I have more in that series, but haven't read Evil Intent.<br /><br />I look forward to your review of The Cuckoo in Spring by Elizabeth Cadell, it sounds interesting.<br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
