Book #6 -- Catherynne M. Valente, The Orphan's Tales Volume 1: In the Night Garden, 483 pages.
Um . . wow. I'm really glad I moved this one up in my to-read pile. Parts were a little confusing -- I've been thinking of trying to draw up a chart to keep straight who is telling what story to whom and how the different characters are related, but the stories themselves are genius. And the format -- to be able to weave the stories together like that always dipping in and out of the main narrative line and yet still tie it all together in the end is amazing. I can't wait to read the next one.
