Thanks to my Flist I now have two new books to order and read
Knife by R J Anderson (on order from Amazon Yay)
There are humans at the bottom of the garden, and a glimpse inside their forbidden House convinces Knife that they have knowledge that could help her dying people. But if the human world has so much to offer, why is the fairy Queen determined to keep her people away from it? Is there a connection between the House and the fairies' loss of magic? And why is Knife so drawn to the young Paul McCormick - that strangest of creatures, a human male?
and
A Wrinkle in Time
A Wrinkle in Time is the story of Meg Murry, a high-school-aged girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin O'Keefe to rescue her father, a gifted scientist, from the evil forces that hold him prisoner on another planet.
They both sound awesome, and reminds me that even though it feels like it I haven't read everything :) and that got me to thinking about what else I’m missing out on, so always open (desperate) for new suggestions I thought I'd turn to my flist for advice, since it brought me the first two, what books do you love SO much you recommend to everyone, even though even you are getting bored of retelling the story all over again and would be your only choice if you got stuck on a desert island. I'm open to any types of book, although I have known to be partial to Sci Fi, YA, mysteries and anything that contains a supernatural element.
To be fair, I'll get the ball rolling and for anyone who is interested I'll recommend one of my own favourites.
