GIP! (2nd in a series)

[mayhap]

When The Woman in the Wall came out, I was thirteen, and I could not possibly have identified with anything more perfectly.

Upon rereading, it's still every bit as funny and smart as I remembered, and still rather alluring, as well ...

wow someone besides me has actually read that book? i adore it! i can't believe i'm not alone....

[mayhap]

Hee! Yes, it may be an odd sort of book, but I am an odd sort of person, damn it.

I adore that book. And Owl in Love. I own one of them, somewhere in the basement in Wisconsin.

[plans to go to library]

Mwa! I have precipitate a journey to the library! My work here is done! (I really need a library dork icon, don't I?)

While you're there, I'd totally look for Goose Chase, but especially (IMHO) her most recent book, Lost in the Labyrinth, which is a fictionalized/historicised retelling of the myth of the minotaur.

Actually, I think I read Goose Chase a couple of years ago. Black cover with geese, right? Green text, as I recall.

You have an excellent visual memory as well. *g*

Hehe. Worked at a children's library for nearly three years, so I've seen the cover more than a few times. I see you're reading some other nifty books too (Loved The Curious Incident...).

[mayhap]

Oooooh, a children's library! I have heard of such glorious things, but never so much as seen one.

I should clarify...the children's section of the library. But it is a very large and fantastic library. I really love it, even after working there.
