While She Knits

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

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 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?

I'm going! I'm going!! Actually the whole trio from Mt. Kisco is going (that would be my sister, the lovely Maria [who lurks here, but can't be persuaded to post], and me!)

As to awesome things read recently:

White Cat -- definitely very good!
Incarceron, and
Sapphique "The Love that moves the sun and the other stars...".sigh... AWESOME!
Mockingjay AWESOME! Although very grim (or maybe BECAUSE it's very grim)
The Poison Diaries. Loved this one, too.
The White Horse Trick. LOVE IT!! Everything Kate Thompson writes is brilliant, but this beats all!
Kiss Me Deadly. Worth reading for Maggie Stiefvater's "Hounds of Ulster" alone. And the other stories are good, too!
The Demon's Covenant. I adore Sarah Rees Brennan.

Plus I've been doing some re-reading....

I love this thread.

Must now run and water the garden. Plus, I have to figure out where we'll sleep in Boston. The street will not do....
