<p>I was put off at first at the idea of something being written in verse, and by the starkness of the topics (I usually am an urban fantasy/paranormal girl), but they are those kinds of books that pull you in, and you forget to eat/are late to work because you can't put them aside. The characters also stay with you forever.</p>

<p>I realized that another of my favorites may be one you haven't read yet: NOBODY'S FAMILY IS GOING TO CHANGE by Louise Fitzhugh. It's one of those classically 70's weird stories of kids fighting against power structures and constraints, not necessarily successfully. The main character is fat and smart and somewhat antisocial; she wants to be a lawyer like her dad, but is being groomed for a housewifely future like her mom's. Her little brother, meanwhile, wants to be a dancer more than anything... and clearly has a little sugar in his tank. I'm a terrible reviewer in part because I want to tell everything but not give any of it away. Do look for this one - it's a quick read, but truly worth it! </p>Claire commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5644a32970b2009-09-11T16:43:55Z2009-09-11T16:43:55ZClairehttp://emersonlibrary.blogspot.com/Thanks for the post -- my TBR list grew by at least six of these recommendations in the comments! So...<p>Thanks for the post -- my TBR list grew by at least six of these recommendations in the comments!</p>
<p>So sadly, most of the recommendations I thought of off the top of my head were ones that you've already read (I checked). THE WILD GIRLS, A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST, and the Temeraire books were just a couple of the ones that I would have loved to have suggested to you for the first time. Oh well. </p>
<p>Have you picked up any of the older Betsy-Tacy books recently? Thanks to a recommendation from Wendy <a href="http://sixboxesofbooks.blogspot.com/2009/05/maybe-this-time.html" rel="nofollow"> over at Six Boxes of Books</a>, I read the high school Betsy books this spring. It really was fun to start with Heaven to Betsy and read through. I don't recall having seen any Lovelace reviews or references here lately... maybe it's the perfect time to pick them up! </p>
<p>My other recommendation is Lytton Strachey's EMINENT VICTORIANS. It's scathing, hilarious, and a completely fascinating portrait of four famous Victorians: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold and General Gordon. Bunteresque in its humor, and filled with historical tidbits as well. </p>

I don't usually read westerns, but I just moved out west and got the hankering. It had been recommended to me years ago by a friend, so I finally read it, and it's a great story. It's strange to read it if you're used to reading more recently written stuff, because he jumps povs so much that sometimes it's hard to keep up, but I LIKE multiple povs, so I got over it. </p>Mfred commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5ba616e970c2009-09-11T14:30:13Z2009-09-11T14:30:13ZMfredhttp://mfred.tumblr.comHave you had a chance to read Runemarks yet?

It's set in an alternate England where reading/literature is taken VERY seriously and features a kick-ass heroine. Lots of literary references abound, and it manages to seamlessly incorporate a slew of different genres (sff, historical, mystery...) to the point where it's really hard to pigeonhole into any one. If you're one for British humor, it's got plenty of that too. :)</p>Colleen commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a562b739970b2009-09-11T02:26:42Z2009-09-11T02:26:42ZColleenhttp://chasingray.comHmmm - this is tough because so much depends on how you are feeling.

I just finished "The Fossil Hunter" by Shelley Emling becasue I was desperate for good NF and it fit the bill perfectly. But if you don't want to read about 19th century fossil hunters (especially Mary Anning) then it would not work! ha! For mysteries I love the Maisie Dobbs series, for SFF Connie Willis' short stories always get me through rough spots. I know you like Cherie Priest - her new one "Boneshaker" is excellent steampunk that I loved - it will be in next month's column. For YA I did enjoy Laini Taylor's new collection "Lips Touch" - especially the Goblin Market story. Also I strongly recommend Binnie Kirschenbaum's "The Scenic Route" for a great grown-up novel - brilliantly written and very easy to sink into.</p>

Both are set in England in the 1950s. "Sweetness" is new - from last year; "Castle" is from the 60s. Both have plucky resourceful teenage female narrators, but Castle is a romance and Sweetness is a mystery.</p>
<p>I think you'll love them both! And don't worry about slowing down when you near the end of Sweetness, as to lengthen the reading experience (two of my aunts have told me that they couldn't bear to read the last few pages, since then it would be over) -- there are sequels afoot.</p>Kelly Fineman commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5b90445970c2009-09-11T01:15:13Z2009-09-11T01:15:13ZKelly FinemanCHALICE by Robin McKinley.

I tried the audiobook because it has one of my favorite narrators even though it really did not seem my cup of tea. It was not at all what I expected, with much more humor and the relationship between the main characters is fascinating. On top of that, the recreation of the Napoleonic Era and the sailing ships is so spot on, that you can almost hear the cannons. I was so upset when I got to the 4th book and found my library's copy was on hold that I now reserve my copy several books ahead. As a bonus, having read them by audiobook, I feel very nautical because I can properly rattle off dozens of sea terms.</p>Dawn commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a562575f970b2009-09-10T23:35:47Z2009-09-10T23:35:47ZDawnRead Shirley Jackson--The Haunting of House Hill<p>Read Shirley Jackson--The Haunting of House Hill</p>Keetha commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5b8d184970c2009-09-10T23:35:02Z2009-09-10T23:35:02ZKeethahttp://writekudzu.blogspot.comI really loved "I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith.

It's quiet and realistic and VERY different than most of the YA out there now.</p>kiirstin commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5609e9d970b2009-09-10T14:17:32Z2009-09-10T14:17:32Zkiirstinhttp://weeklybookpixie.blogspot.comFor something a little different, try Lost at Sea by Bryan Lee O'Malley.

It's a graphic novel, a road trip story, and very lovely exploration of an eighteen-year-old girl's struggle to come to terms with herself and her life. Complicated by the fact that she is convinced that she has no soul because a cat has it. It's very funny and moving and charming. </p>Tina commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5b70b2e970c2009-09-10T14:04:48Z2009-09-10T14:04:48ZTinaI would recommend Diana Wynne Jones to almost anyone, if you haven't read them.

My favorites are the Howl's Moving Castle books, but her others a really good too. You can also never go wrong with an Eva Ibbotson book, especially her books for older readers. Even if you've already read them they're great for rereading :)</p>Naomi commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5b708ef970c2009-09-10T14:01:16Z2009-09-10T14:01:16ZNaomiI really loved The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.

Blitzcat, The Kingdom by the Sea -- or pretty much anything he ever wrote, no matter whether I think I'm interested in the subject matter or not. He is just so good, I am always won over. </p>
<p>Or Stevenson, especially Kidnapped.</p>
<p>I have also been disappointed lately by books that make others jump up and down.</p>LaurieA-B commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5b6e78f970c2009-09-10T13:19:26Z2009-09-10T13:19:26ZLaurieA-Bhttp://sixboxesofbooks.blogspot.comThe books that people I know have been going bananas over, lately, include Graceling/Fire and When You Reach Me.

<p>For something wicked good, two mysteries: The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King and Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey.</p>
<p>Recent YA, I really liked Good Enough by Paula Yoo (and it's funny!). Absolutely Maybe by Lisa Yee won me over with the taco truck.</p>ICQB commented on 'I'm finding lately...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20120a5605d45970b2009-09-10T13:06:35Z2009-09-10T13:06:35ZICQBhttp://inconsequentialblogger.blogspot.com/If you haven't read them already, try The Orphan's Tales book - there are two of them - by Catherynne...<p>If you haven't read them already, try The Orphan's Tales book - there are two of them - by Catherynne M. Valente. They are, In The Night Garden, and, In The Cities of Coin and Spice. Read them in order, they're nested tales a la Arabian Nights.</p>
<p>Also, if you haven't read it, try The Last Dragon, by Silvana De Mari. </p>
