  1. I'm a bit biased, but I think you'd really enjoy The Red Necklace! I have the sequel coming to me from Bookcloseouts soon. So, so excited :-)

    And of course, anything by Diana Wynne-Jones is likely to be good. I also got the third book in the Howl's Moving Castle series after your post. Bookcloseouts rocks my world :-)

  2. Aarti: I read Sally Gardner's other book and I have to agree! I look forward to reading it soon. :) I need to get the second book in Jone's series. The library doesn't have it.... The first and second were good, though!

  3. I can't recommend a book but good grief, girl! Isn't there a limit to the number of books you can take out at one time??

    Everyone has been raving about Tender Morsels and although I haven't read it yet it seems like just your kind of book (and mine). I recommend Wee Free Men, I love that series more than the adult books he writes. Also read more Charles de Lint!

  6. My choice would be: Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones

  7. Wow that's a lot of books! :)

    I'd recommend Tender Morsels, of course, and then The Secret Hour, which only takes a couple of hours to read anyway.

  8. That's what I like in a reader- ambition! :) Don't have suggestions as to what to read first, but I really like Scott Westerfeld, Diana Wynne Jones & Ursula K Leguin.

    Happy reading!

  9. Wee Free Men!! Its so good but a warning you'll want to read the other Tiffany Aching books after your done.There aren't any cliff hangers and each are stand alones but you'll get a good giggle!

  10. Wee Free Men. Obviously! :)

    The Secret Hour is good fun.

    But I'm thinking, Kit's Wilderness should up up there soon! (I've just DM'd you on twitter to explain why!)

  11. Oooh...I think I'm a bit jealous..these all look good. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on some of them :)

  12. Do you mean you read her I, Coriander book? I have that one coming from Bookcloseouts as well. I, er, went a bit insane at Bookcloseouts.

  13. How was Wee Free Men? I'll suggest White Darkness because it's due back at my own library soon or Tender Morsels.

  14. Ooh, I have all those Megan Whalen Turner books in the series coming to me, too! Again, of course, via the same Bookcloseouts shipment. I hope you review those soon :-)

  15. Wow! That really is a lot of books! Looks like you have many happy hours of reading ahead.

  16. I picked up Stargazer too but I haven't read it yet. I took back Street Gang half-way through because it was an ILL and I had run out of time unfortunately. I'll have to check it out again someday soon. The rest of these are unfamiliar to me.

  17. Lots of good choices! My vote is for the Vonnegut. I haven't read Galapagos, but I've loved everything by him that I have read so far.
