Thanks, Jina. I love historical fiction and was so fascinated by the story of the two princes in the tower. Sounds like you have some great projects, and I wish you all the best.

Yes! I love James Dashner - he is one of my current favorites. Have you read The Maze Runner yet? It is absolutely, can't-put-down fantastic! :)
