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.

Has anyone read the Montmaray Books by Michelle Cooper? I can't remember where I read a recommendation for them, but I saw the second book at the library and picked it up even though I hadn't read the first one. I thought it was fabulous.

I've never heard of this series. Looks like it got some great reviews, which made the second book sound better than the first one. Will you go back and read the first one, now?

Yes, and I am looking forward to the third. Very clean writing. I like that the main character is an ingenue, but not stoopid.

Yes! Love, love, love them! And the third one is coming out any day!
It's definitely worth reading the 1st one 2nd (I think). It is most amusing.

Funny, I was just pushing those books at a student who wanted historical fiction. This very afternoon!

I think I read books one and two through Overdrive and I quite liked them. I think my library has ordered the third one.
