A few more of the amazing titles that I really must get my hands on!
Can Rachel Berry rock a beret? McKinley High goes international and invites a French glee club to town - ooh la la! In this hilarious culture-clash story, Kurt gets an entourage, Finn falls for a new girl, and Puck realizes that some suave moves are lost in translation.
In this second original novel, you'll get more mash-ups, more show-mance, and more Sue in a brand-new story officially approved by the creators of Glee.

I loved the first Glee book and I can't wait for the follow-up. It will be interesting to see all the Glee club members in a brand new story. 'Foreign Exchange' is published by Headline on 17th February 2011.
A gorgeously written fantasy about the friendship between a princess and her Pegasus.
Because of a thousand-year-old alliance between humans and pagasi, Princess Sylviianel is ceremonially bound to Ebon, her own Pegasus, on her twelfth birthday. The two species coexist peacefully, despite the language barriers separating them. Humans and pegasi both rely on specially-trained Speaker magicians as the only means of real communication.
But its different for Sylvi and Ebon. They can understand each other. They quickly grow close-so close that their bond becomes a threat to the status quo-and possibly to the future safety of their two nations.
I haven't read many books by Robin McKinley but those I have read, I've thoroughly enjoyed. This one sounds really intriguing and quite unusual. It's out in paperback in the UK on 7th July 2011 and is published by Puffin.
When Belle meets Luke, son of an alchemist and Scribe to the famous poet Chaucer, she is determined to travel with him to Canterbury on a pilgrimage. She hopes for a miracle: that her father will walk again. She also hopes to atone for her own part in his accident. It is a time of unrest across the country and the young King Richard II is just hanging on to his throne. A malign character on the pilgrimage suspects Chaucer of treason and slowly winds Belle into a political intrigue. At the same time, the impulsive Belle is drawn towards both Luke and to Walter, the wealthy son of a Knight. But Walter himself is in love with Luke...As the uprising against the King starts to draw pace and the web of intrigue around Belle and Chaucer tightens, Belle and her friends must risk everything to save their country and themselves...
K.M. Grant is one of my favourite YA historical fiction authors. Her books are always beautifully written and combine amazing characters with fantastic plots. This one sounds just like the sort of book I'd love. It's published by Quercus on 3rd February 2011.
Pegasus is also on my list. I have ten new wishes. They are from the start of the year. Come see what I'm wishing for.
