Hmmm, a recommendation for a book by a Canadian author. :P Well, you've already read Kelley Armstrong so I don't need to recommend her (but you should totally read her adult series one day too ;D), and since I was already talking about him today, I think you might like The Logogryph by Thomas Wharton. It's a bit hard to get your hands on a copy though, but it's definitely an interesting story....or rather a collection of very short bits. It isn't really a conventional narrative, like at all. :P
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read these-always looking to support Canadian authors!
ReplyDeleteI read and recommend The Cat by Edeet Ravel. It is a really good book.

ReplyDeleteNot sure if the post about Half Blood Blues here so I will just post my thoughts here. The review has me interested in reading this book. Have heard the name of the book before but did not know much about the story unil now.
