Today, I'll switch gears and talk a bit, about books.

"Uncle A." recently finished "I Am Half-Sick of Shadows," by Alan Bradley.   This is the latest in a series, about the 11 year old sleuth, Flavia de Luce.  A hoot.   If you haven't read any of them, I suggest you begin with...

 "The Sweetness At The Bottom of The Pie."  

I quote from a review; 

"It is the summer of 1950–and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Then, hours later, Flavia finds a ..."

I finished "The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer," but not so happily.  It's a very confusing book, and a bit of a *wild* YA book.  At times, I was so intrigued to know "what happened?"  and "what comes next?" ...  That I kept at it.  But in the end, I don't look forward to the next in the Series.  So, -sigh- I guess it was innnnnnnnteresting, but not something I'd recommend.  Even to those adults who like YA novels.  ~~~  And yes, there are more than just myself.  -grin-  Although I may be the *Oldest* such fan.  ,-)

Soon I hope to begin re-reading "The Hollow" (Hollow Trilogy) by Jessica Verday.

I LOVED these books, and recommend them.  Not the 'run-of-the-mill' YA books.

Not the 'run of the mill' loopy teen-age-heroine.  NOT!

Of course, I have other library books, on the table, waiting to be read.

"Rules Of Civility" by Amor Towles, set in 1938 NYC society.

"An elegant and captivating debut novel about an irresistible young woman with an uncommon sense of purpose...tell the story of a watershed year in the life of an uncompromising twenty-five-year-old....Armed with little more than a formidable intellect, a bracing wit, and her own brand of cool nerve..."

"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman

"Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk.  His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed."

~

"Witchlanders" by Lena Coakley

"Witchlandsers is a novel that crackles with magic and storytelling and vibrates with the music of words."
