lucy was robbed: YA Historical Fiction Challenge

http://www.yabliss.com/2010/11/ya-historical-fiction-challenge.html

I don't read a ton of historical fiction, but I always want to. I'm signing up at Level 1: 5 books, though I'm guessing reading through other participants' reviews will bloat my TBR list.

Illyria by Elizabeth Hand
Heart of a Samurai by Margi Preus
Between Shades of Gray by Ruth Sepetys
One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
Open Wounds by Joe Lunievicz
Threads and Flames by Esther Friesner
Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen

For authors and publishers:

I'm currently not accepting ARCs or review copies as I'm struggling to maintain a one-in, one-out book balance in my home. That said, I primarily review young adult fiction, though some middle grade fiction and adult fiction with teen appeal also slips in. My favorites are science fiction, fantasy, and any YA literature with positive LGBTQ themes or characters. I try to post reviews of upcoming books a week or two before they are published; published books will be reviewed as soon as I am able. My reviews are also posted on LibraryThing and Goodreads. I try to point out something good in every book, but not all of my reviews are positive. The only time I won't post a review at all is if I cannot bring myself to finish the book. I never sell ARCs or review copies, but I may pass them on to other librarians, book bloggers, or readers unless expressly asked not to do so.
