My sentence this week comes from Nobody's Princess by Esther Friesner.
"Don't say that!" I exclaimed, my face hot. "They did a good job, better than you're doing now."
That's Helen (of Sparta) talking but I just started the book and haven't made it to page 56 yet so I don't know what she's all upset about. I guess I'll find out soon.

Helen? As in Helen of the Trojan War?
That would be her. This story takes place when she's seven though so Troy is still a bit in the future.
I usually don't like books like this, but I clicked your link and it does look good. Might have to step out of the box and read this one!!
One of the nicest things about this meme is getting to look at books I probably wouldn't otherwise consider adding to my reading list. Thanks!
