YA Orgy part I

A few posts ago I asked for advice as to which of the books piled up on my desk I should read first. I succumbed to the temptation of a comfortable reread and read End of Term. It really is very lovely - it's only been a few months since my last read (and quite a few years since the one before that) but I am amazed at the sheer quality of the thing. So much so that I have swapped that gorgeous Chandler a few posts down for it.

Since I made this momentous decision I have read another Forest book I'd never read before (The Ready-Made Family) and am now on a third (Peter's Room, which research on the internet suggests is incredible. Has anyone else read it?) The Borrible trilogy is being carried around in my backpack, but hasn't actually gotten read yet.

I have also been reading a ton of Tamora Pierce fanfic, about which more later. What are you reading?

I loved the Borribles books as a kid! They are very dark, and quite strange, but brilliant. And Peter's Room really is as good as everyone says.

Stellanova - Peter's Room is pretty phenomenal. Why hasn't it gotten more critical attention?
I've started the first Borribles book and am really enjoying it so far.


Death Pixie - Thank you!
