Friendship can pull you out of the darkest moments of your life :)
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light
- It is our choices, far more than our abilities, that make us who we are
- Many times, we have to make the choice between what is right, and what is easy.
- It does not do to dwell on memories and forget to live.
Pretty much anything else Dumbledore says.
- Do not pity the dead. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.

12 - Cleopatra’s Daughter
Cleopatra’s Daughter, by Michelle Moran
Grade: A+
This book was fantastic! I loved it! It totally drew me in — I finished it on the same day I started (well, technically it was after midnight…).
Review from Publisher’s Weekly:
Moran’s latest foray into the world of classical history (after The Heretic Queen) centers upon the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra . After the death of their parents, twins Alexander and Selene and younger brother Ptolemy are in a dangerous position, left to the mercy of their father’s greatest rival, Octavian Caesar. However, Caesar does not kill them as expected, but takes the trio to Rome to be paraded as part of his triumphant return and to demonstrate his solidified power. As the twins adapt to life in Rome in the inner circle of Caesar’s family, they grow into adulthood ensconced in a web of secrecy, intrigue and constant danger. Told from Selene’s perspective, the tale draws readers into the fascinating world of ancient Rome and into the court of Rome’s first and most famous emperor. Deftly encompassing enough political history to provide context, Moran never clutters her narrative with extraneous facts. Readers may be frustrated that Selene is more observer than actor, despite the action taking place around her, but historical fiction enthusiasts will delight in this solid installment from a talented name in the genre.
11 - The Queen’s Fool
The Queen’s Fool, by Philippa Gregory
Grade: A-
I love Philippa Gregory’s books, but this one was especially cool because it followed the life of a made-up character in a very famous time that I know a lot about. The main character, Hannah, served many of the Tudor royals that Gregory is famous for writing about.
Summary from Wiki:
The Queen’s Fool by Philippa Gregory is a 2004 historical fiction novel. Set between 1548 and 1558, it is part of Philippa Gregory’s Tudor series. The series includes The Boleyn Inheritance. The novel chronicles the changing fortunes of Mary I of England and her half-sister Elizabeth through the eyes of the fictional Hannah Green, a Marrano girl escaping to England from Spain where her mother was burned at the stake for being Jewish. Hannah is discovered by Robert Dudley and John Dee and subsequently begged as a fool to Edward VI. She witnesses and becomes caught up the intrigues of the young king’s court, and later those of his sisters. As Mary, Elizabeth, and Robert Dudley use Hannah to gather information on their rivals and further their own aims, the novel can plausibly present each side in the complex story. The Queen’s Fool follows Hannah from ages fourteen to nineteen, and her coming-of-age is interspersed among the historical narrative.
