OOOOH, A.S. Peterson! I didn’t know he wrote books! Isn’t he Andrew Peterson’s son? I might just check him outYou can pronounce it however you want.

@salome01w4g Did I post something about a suspect series? I have no clue what that is. Maybe you didn’t mean to tag me…
@emily what I meant is” what is the offending series shannon claims is better?”

@salome01w4g Ooooh! Now that makes sense. It’s the Brothers at Arms series. They’re written by a guy named John J. Horn. The author of the Baker Family Adventures actually recommended them. KP also did a book review on them a while back.

@ingridrd My sisters read them, and they seem cool 🙂
@emily ooooh yeah those… I won’t agree with Shannon that they’re the best, but they come in second place.

@salome01w4g I haven’t got around to reading them yet. I have way too long of a to read list.
@dekreel Diana Wynne Jones wrote Howl’s Moving Castle and A.S. Peterson is actually Andrew’s brother. And A.S. Peterson’s wife is Jennifer Trafton. 🙂 So there, Peterson family tree for ya 😉
Theater kid. Currently depressed because I can't stop listening to sad musicals.
@Christi-Eaton I really need to read something by that Peterson guy sometime… Or both of them, as the case may be. What’s A.S. Peterson’s A name? But Andrew Peterson, author of the W. Saga, is the guy with all the great songs, right?

A few of my favorite historical fiction books are:
Johnny Tremain
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Carry on Mr. Bowditch (I think this is one of the best)
The Bronze Bow
I know these ones are pretty popular, but they are some of the best
@salome01w4g Hey Hannah! So, I’m pretty sure that you’ve left the library by now 😉 but I thought that I’d jump in and share. I LOVE historical fiction!! The Winds of Light series by Sigmund Brouwer are awesome (though they’re called Merlin’s Immortals now I think, they’ve been reprinted). I have to agree with Shannon though and say that so far in what I’ve read/listened to on audio Roman Britain Trilogy is really good. Also, Elizabeth George Speare wrote The Bronze Bow, which I absolutely love. It’s worth checking out! 🙂
I tell my story. Not so that I get glory, but so that others may know Hope.
