Gosh, it's been quiet around here!

What great things have you read recently that are totally obscure?  Something other people are unlikely to ever find on their own?

I'll go first:

Boris by Cynthia Rylant - if you've ever loved a pet, you'll like this one.  So sweet!  And, it's told in verse.

A teen sci-fi series that you'll like if you're a Star Trek nerd * - the Galahad series by Dom Testa.  A comet has infected the earth with a disease that is killing off all the adults.  As a last-ditch effort to save the human race, scientists build a spaceship to travel to another planet, and choose 251 disease-free teens who must learn how to get the ship there, and colonize the planet.  Lots of fun.  The first book is The Comet's Curse.



* No, not me.  Not a bit.

I've not met many people who know of What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci. It's not my usual cup of tea, but I absolutely love it. It makes my head spin and my heart hurt every time I read it.

Oooh! I know! I love that book!
And I have to ask....did you waste time researching that fictional book they were reading in the book? I so wished it was real -- I wanted to read it!

I did not, although now that you mention it I kind of wish it was real too. And I was so disappointed when I found out floating angels aren't actually a thing.

Me, too! I spent some time looking up angelic heierarchies (which I thought I knew) trying to find them.Given the rash of angel books out now, more people ought to be reading Lani Garver. It is awesome, as is the character.
