Book stuff

Bad headache on and off for the last three days, so this will be brief.

#37 Princess in Waiting by Meg Cabot.

#38 The Mercy Room by Gilles Rozier.

#39 Princess in Pink by Meg Cabot.

The first and third were fun and breezy. Just what I needed while in the throes of a headache. I really enjoy Cabot's supple use of pop culture. Mia's list of the ten best shows on television with commentary by Lilly cracks me up. The second was an odd little book about a French teacher of German language and literature in occupied France who hides a young Jewish soldier in the cellar of his/her house and ends up involved in a passionate affair with the man. The reader never knows for sure if the central figure is a man or a woman. Atmospheric and a somewhat melancholy rumination on what it means to be complicit.
