Rachel's Recommendations

I never could figure out how to make a permanent link to another part of the blog for our book recommendations. I got ones from Rachel and Angela months/years ago and I've decided to just go ahead and start posting them here.  There has not been a plethora of great books to read and I'm interested in some new/old stuff myself: 

(fantasy)
Dealing with Dragons - Patricia Wrede G
Sorcery and Cecilia - Patricia Wrede PG
Once Upon Stilettos - Shanna Swendson PG
The Princess Academy - Shannon Hale G
The Blue Sword - Robin McKinley PG
The Wee Free Men - Terry Pratchett PG

(juvenile sci-fi)
The Rolling Stones - Robert Heinlein G

(western/mountain)
The Warrior's Path - Louis L'amour PG

That's all for today. I'll post her other recommendations later, and then get on to others' lists. Happy hunting. And please post books that you have read/discovered recently that you enjoyed!

I don't know how to post a list, or even if this book has been recommended before, but I loved Naomi Novik's "His Majesty's Dragon" and the subsequent sequels! I would say it is rated G/PG. It has some fighting/battle scenes, but nothing graphic. A very good read!

from the sound of it, we've all read those ones except Nanette - and everyone has really loved them!
