Eva Ibbotson

Normally, I'd talk about a book. And, yes, I suppose that this is talking about a book too, just under the heading of an author. Eva Ibbotson. I'd never heard of her untill the summer of 2009, and yet, I can't get enough of her books now! She was Born in Vienna, Austria, but fled to England when the Nazis took over. And that is where you will find the setting of most of her novels. Vienna. England. Austria. World War Two. They're made for romance-history buffs. ESPECIALLY Austria/Germany history. They are all different, and yet each as equally entrancing as the others. I'm supposing you'll want a list of these AMAZING books now n'est pas? Yes? Then here you go!!

A Song For Summer
A Countess Below Stairs <-(this one is the only one that has NOTHING to do with WWII or austria/germany. Its WWI Russia)
The Morning Gift
A Company of Swans
The Reluctant Heiress

(My personal favourite is The Morning Gift)


These are her main books, although she has some out there for children too.

You can find all of these books at your local book store, as well as used book stores and your local library.

These books all belong to Eva Ibbotson.

Teen Spy? Thats the Life for Me!

Awsome gadets. Super cool trips. Really hot boys. Constant adventure.

Sounds fun huh?

Cammie Morgan is just your average teenage girl. She likes cute boys, cool movies, good books, and hanging out with friends. Except, she's NOT just your average everyday fifteen year old girl. She attends Gallagher Academy, an elite all-girls school in Virginia. A school for spies. Thats right, spies. Cammie and her firends Bex, Liz and Macey are in training to become some of the best spies in the world. But, there's a catch. They can't tell anyone. Not even their parents. So when Cammie falls for a super cute, but super ordinary boy, what's girl to do? She'll use all her spy training to figure out how to be with him, but will it work? Or will her secret life keep her from the boy of her dreams?

Find out in the first book of the superbly written Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter, I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You. Then continue following Cammie's adventures with Cross My Heart And Hope to Spy, Don't Judge A Girl By Her Cover and Only the Good Spy Young, due out in July of this year.
