Christie (cereale) I nominate A Sword in Her Hand by Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem A Sword in Her Hand by Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem. I've had this on my to-read shelve for over a year. It looks good, I just need an excuse to read it :-).

Emily (librarylil) I nominate Keeping the Castle by Patrice Kindl . I saw it on a list of best YA for 2012 as one of the best historical fiction novels.
