A Certain Slant of Light (2005)
by Laura Whitcomb
I. Adore. This. Book. Read it now. Now. I was captivated and enthralled. This is the author's first book and her style is already so superior and amazing. Every word is beautiful. The plot is also simply stunning. I'm dead serious. You can't live without reading this.
I Can't Tell You (2004)
by Hillary Frank
I read this in one effing day. I could just relate to the story so well and the feelings were so real. I couldn't believe how well the author put my exact feelings into words. She did it perfectly. Everything jumped off the page for me. Everything.
Sorcrey and Celia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (1988)
by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer
This book was AMAZING. It was fun and fascinating and exciting. The characters and plot are really extraordinary. By the cover and title I expected some stupid kids book but it's so much mature. I didn't put it down for three days.
Hard Love (1999)
by Ellen Wittlinger
Like "A Great and Terrible Beauty" (down the pages a ways), this is one of the few books I feel very strongly about and one I want everyone to know and read. It was clever, funny, and at the same time tocuhing and inspiring. I cried at the end, something I don't always do for books. It was also what inspired me to start a zine.
Fat Kid Rules The World (2003)
by K.L. Going
Another book I feel strongly about. I heard they're making it into a movie, which saddens me...because I feel very attached to the characters and I can't feel attached to some movie star on a screen. But, yes, these characters did it all for me. They brought me into the book the entirely.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2003)
by Mark Haddon
Okay, only words by themselves and explain the greatness of this book: astonishing. Sad. Funny. Moving. Amazing. Brilliant. Okay, done. The author has his narrator be an autistic boy who is very smart and this just adds to the book's unique voice. It lets us feel and see in a different way.
A Great And Terrible Beauty (2003)
by Libba Bray
This is one of the few books I feel extemely strong about. When I was reading it, I'd be excited to come home from school and read it. When it was done, I literally yellled and exhaled from the excitement and just pure amazement at it. I told everyone about it. I was amazed. In shock. I can't describe it. Amazing.
The Joy Luck Club (1989)
by Amy Tan
Amy Tan is such an amazing writer. She weaves so many stories together in this and connects them in a unique way. I wish I could write like her. It's beautiful, it really is.
