I also love love the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz and all books by Will Hobbs. <br /><br />My book gaps are definitely romance for one and then poetry and nonfiction as well. Any suggestions for finding good poetry books when they come out?LibraryStudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054720912368856474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-4647849216240997842013-01-04T02:46:41.179-05:002013-01-04T02:46:41.179-05:00Historical fiction is one of my faves!

I bet you even read some historical fiction without thinking about it. May B. by Rose is a great verse novel set in the early 1900s I'd guess. Rev War ones I read were Sophia's War by Avi and Five 4ths of July - the latter being really excellent. Civil Rights ones - The Rock and the River by Magoon, Mighty Miss Malone by Curtis, Lions of Little Rock by Levine, Glory Be by Scattergood, A Thousand Never Evers by Burg. Or contact me @ muellerspace on Twitter for specific time periods.
