The YA Bookcast is back with this shorter review episode. Instead of having a theme, Episode 006 is a jumble of different books that don't have much to do with one another. Some of these books include Lady Friday, the newest book in what may be my favorite series, and The Higher Power of Lucky, the 2007 Newbery winner. Listen to find out if it deserves the award!

Finally! After a five-month hiatus, the YA Bookcast is back with a new episode. The theme for this one is Medieval Historical Fiction. Although this is a pretty big subgenre, I only review four of them, two of which are Newbery winners. Also, we have two extra reviews, both of new and interesting books. In other news, the YA Bookcast got a good review in Podcast User Magazine. To read the review, go to www.podcastusermagazine.com and click on the October Issue.
