While She Knits

Summer is over, school has started, Megan is back in Ohio knitting a new pair of socks for her upcoming trip to Boston as a Boston-Globe Horn Book Awards Honoree, and [livejournal.com profile] thesehnsucht 's recent post brings to mind just how long it has been since we had a WSK conversation.

What books have you read recently that really left an impression on you?  What are the ones on your To Be Read or Upcoming New Release lists that you are simply itching to get at?

A friend of mine just gave me Enchantress from the Stars, which she loved when she was younger. I've never read it. Has anyone else?

Yes, I used to love that book as a kid, too! And there's another one along the same lines by that author.

Oh good, moving it up on the list!

Yes, amazing! (FYI, tThere are a couple other books set in the same universe, including a sequel, The Far Side of Evil. It's a very different kind of book, though---darker and more adult---and the author said in the foreword of the version I own that she wishes she'd written it with a new main character instead of writing it as a sequel. Um, yeah. Fun fact of the day.) But Enchantress from the Stars is so cool. I hope you enjoy it!

I do remember liking one a lot more than the other, so it was probably Enchantress from the Stars.
