While She Knits

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 love Ysabeau Wilce's Flora Segunda books, especially the first two! Also Frances Hardinge, who I think is better known in the UK?

I actually read Fly by Night just before school started, and I must say it was quite a treat. The plot and writing were great, although I found the characters... just okay. I think I'll hop onto The Lost Conspiracy instead of moving on to the sequel. But really, Hardinge's writing is very unique.
