Today I finished the second book in the The Orphan's Tales series by Catherynne M Valente.

You guys. Oh, you guys. Read them if you like... uh, books. I guess it falls under fantasy, but it was so much more than that. Stories upon stories filled with monopods and firebirds and Djinn and saints and girls with stories written upon their eyelids. It

I was gushing like a fangirl when I read the first one. I've been dying to read the second, but it's a little too expensive and I've got too many books that need reading. Good to know that it's also fantastic.

You might like to know that Valente has another book about to be released in early November, I believe, Habitation of the Blessed, which sounds like it's going to be a similar stories-within-stories deal.

I actually found the book through the review of it on your journal, so thank you so much.

I've just started stalking her livejournal so I saw her new book coming. I'm excited for it! On Saturday I'm grabbing Palimpsest from the library and I hope I love it as much as The Orphan's Tales. (After that though, my library has no more so I'll actually have to dig around for money to buy them.)

DAMN, GIRL! KICK ITS ARSE!

(How many do you need?)

I need 3,600 at the least, but I've only just finished the lit review, so that won't be a problem at all! Now I should write about method and shiz.
