I've got the hook-ups.
I've actually only ever read Sabriel, so this is motivation to read the whole series.
Oh, I thought I should mention on this thread: I haven't been reading much YA lately, but I recently finished Erin Bow's Plain Kate and it was really amazing, so if anyone is looking to read a melancholy fantasy with a talking cat and lovely, lyrical language to boot (although, a warning: this book will probably make you cry) I highly recommend it! Ah, such a good book
I remember especially liking the second book, Lirael, maybe cause working in a dangerous library with a magical dog for a friend is like ultimate wish-fulfillment for me haha! The Abhorsen series (along with His Dark Materials and Tamora Pierce and Diana Wynne Jones books') were my childhood fantasy favorites (ahh, the nostalgia) so I'm really hoping Clariel will be up to par !
Reading ISLA, of course. Surprised I haven't finished it yet, but I didn't have much reading time over the weekend. So far, it's my favorite Perkins book.

Ohhhh, you could be right. I didn't put that together, but it was all extremely weird and suspicious, like something or someone was being set up in that whole sequence.
[SPOILERS REMOVED]
The more I think about it, the more I think you could be right. But the book is very subtle. So. Creepy.
I adore this book! It's one of my favorites.Oh, I thought I should mention on this thread: I haven't been reading much YA lately, but I recently finished Erin Bow's Plain Kate and it was really amazing, so if anyone is looking to read a melancholy fantasy with a talking cat and lovely, lyrical language to boot (although, a warning: this book will probably make you cry) I highly recommend it!

Just finished THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN. I didn't end up loving it as much as I thought I would. Even though it was in first person, the narrative seemed distant. A lot of heavy stuff happens but I ended up feeling disconnected from most of it.
The Canadian release date, apparently, is tomorrow! I drove an hour to the nearest bookstore on the 14th to buy it (and do other stuff, so it wasn't totally a waste) to find out that it comes out on the 19th here -.-
So I'll be getting it tomorrow probably
