I am eternally grateful to Rachel for introducing me to Lois McMaster Bujold!
Yay! (the new book is not great) But Yay!!
I miss EEP! I miss EEP! so very, very much.
If you want a really quick, page-turning read that you will have no trouble knocking out, I HIGHLY recommend “Before I Fall” by Lauren Oliver. I read it this summer when I was bingeing on YA novels to help me get the rhythms and tropes right for my own, and I am now willing to read anything with Oliver’s name on it. It’s basically “Mean Girls” meets “Groundhog Day”–a bullying popular girl dies in a car accident and ends up reliving that day over and over again, trying to figure out how to save herself and make amends to the people she’s hurt in the process. I devoured it in two days, shoved it into Tom’s hands for him to devour in two days, and got it for my sister-in-law for Christmas. It’s phenomenal.
