I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to get in a post pretty much as soon as I was added to this group. If I do start to spam later on, please feel free to quell me, but I don't think that looks like it's going to happen right now, cause I don't have a lot of time, and I'm not reading a lot of books.
Anywho! For anyone who hasn't already picked up and read a book by Robin McKinley, I would strongly suggest any of her books, aimed at young adult readers, but with a striking narrative flow that grabs in most readers, even in their twenties and older.
A lot of her stories are told with a very simplistic narrative style, inviting the readers to read further into her works and delve into deeper parallels that she draws between life and fiction. She's also retold many fairy stories, although this book is not one of those.
( In this particular book, called Sunshine...Collapse )
