Gosh I can't even think of something to recommend to you because everything I think of you've already read. <br />
Unless you haven't read MORE THAN THIS by Patrick Ness. Then that is my recommendation. Because you know.

THEN, you are dead to me. But if you get through a season and decide you still don't like him, well, then I can at least respect you and allow you to live in my mind.</p>
<p>HAPPINESS is about an editor whose job relies on him finding a sure fire self-help hit in his submissions. He grabs the first slush manuscript he can find and plays it up to his publisher as THE book that will revolutionize the self-help industry as it promises to help readers quit smoking, lose weight, stop drinking, and remove all vice from their lives. The book ends up being an instant smash and soon everyone is shedding their vices left and right. But that doesn't sit well with the vice industry... It's hilarious and wonderful.</p>L. E.

<p>Non-YA recommendation: The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. I haven't read the rest of the Mary Russell series yet, but I super enjoyed the first one. Old Sherlock! Sassy young detective! Watson being less dumb than everyone assumes!</p>
<p>YA recommendation: No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale. I think most people are pitching it like Teen!Fargo, but it's more non-supernatural Twin Peaks. Bizarre, hilarious, terrifying murder mystery. </p>Naomi commented on 'It's my birthday...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201a73dcd15db970d2014-05-28T15:32:29Z2014-05-28T15:32:29ZNaomihttp://asinclinationleadsme.wordpress.comNon-YA, but I am currently loving Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London (US title is Midnight Riot) and sequels.<p>Non-YA, but I am currently loving Ben Aaronovitch's <i>Rivers of London</i> (US title is <i>Midnight Riot</i>) and sequels. </p>Courtney Waters commented on 'It's my birthday...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201a3fd123e4d970b2014-05-28T15:21:30Z2014-05-28T15:21:31ZCourtney Watershttp://profile.typepad.com/6p017c378dbb33970bHave you read The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender yet?
