Book Rec! Read this NOW!
Okay, so I stayed up until 3 am last night, even with my fever and headache, because I could not stop reading my book.
I read A Curse Dark as Gold, by Elizabeth Bunce and it is absolutely amazing. No, really. AMAZING. I could not stop reading it ( Read more... )

Um, if you're looking for more books to read and want someone to gush with when you're done, check out anything by Neal Shusterman or Brandon Sanderson and I will be your gush partner. ;)

Since we're talking about Rumpelstiltskin, I'll recommend Neal Shusterman's Dark Fusion series--it's retelling fairy tales/myths with a horror twist. I LOVED them. There's only 3 so far (the gorgon, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Ugly Duckling), but I'm holding out hope for more. They don't have to be read in any particular order.
I know you don't really like horror, and despite my recommending SPN to you, I'm not a huge horror fan, either. ;P These are more thrillers than horror, to me. YMMV, of course. Neal Shusterman writes YA novels, so they're not that graphic or anything. ("Unwind" is about the most horrifying book I've read by him, but that was more the future that was presented that was horrifying, not that it belongs in the horror genre. You know?)

::laughs:: Uh huh, suuuure you're not. ;) But really, for whatever reason I have an easier time reading about that stuff than watching it--I have no clue why that is. But I'm about ten times more likely to read a ghost story than watch one, and that's sort of just how it is. (...Though I have not and will not read Stephen King, which is sacrilegious as a Mainer, I know, but oh well! Stephen King is also not YA!)
