Now... I've never actually read a book by Cassandra Clare, Beth Fantskey, Lisa McMann, or Elizabeth Scott. Living Dead Girl, I'm probably not going to read even though I've heard it's fantastic, because there are limits to how dark I like my books. And that limit is located just slightly past Tender Morsels. And I keep meaning to go hear David Levithan, because my whole clever stalking-him plan isn't working out yet. I have seen Sherman Alexie, but he's a great speaker and I think I could very happily go hear him again.
Well, there's no bad choice here.

4/4/09 15:03 (UTC)There's a poem in "The Realm of Possibility" called "Gospel," wherein a Christian girl reaches out to a goth boy, and it is tender and non-preachy in ways I wouldn't quite have expected just from that description. It's possible to read the whole thing on Amazon's Look Inside The Book, actually, if you search the book for 'Gospel'...
