Books 11 & 12
Book 11: The Kitchen Witch by Annette Blair
A fun piece of fluff. Had a couple of good chuckles in it.
Book 12: The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil
An odd book that can be best described by the blurb:
"Welcome to Inner Horner, a nation so small it can only accommodate one citizen at a time. The other six citizens must wait their turns in the Short-Term Residency Zone of the surrounding country of Outer Horner. It’s a long-standing arrangement between the fantastical, not-exactly-human citizens of the two countries. But when Inner Horner suddenly shrinks, forcing three-quarters of the citizen then in residence over the border into Outer Horner territory, the Outer Hornerites declare an Invasion In Progress-having fallen under the spell of the power-hungry and demagogic Phil."
It is a great book and a very quick read since it is only 130 pages long and has some illustrations in it. I highly recommend it to anyone into political satire.
