21. The House With a Clock In Its Walls by John Bellairs

22. The Figure In The Shadows by John Bellairs

23. Beneath a Silent Moon by Tracy Grant

This is a beautiful book, but I was a little disappointed that it covered past events instead of taking place after Daughter of the Game.

24. Living With Ghosts by Kari Sperring

A gorgeous book. Beautiful, breathless, haunting prose; characters with nothing but bad and worse choices to make; love that is bittersweet and powerful and deathless, and a train wreck instead of salvation. At times the stately elegiac prose comes at the cost of narrative tension, but I'll take pretty over poppy at least five days out of the week.

I'm totally jealous, because this book has a lot of little (and medium-sized) things in common with Bone Palace, and is so much prettier.

I adore Bellairs, and the novels that Brad Strickland finished and those he wrote in that 50's world.. I have a complete set.

I am so flattered you liked it! (And I'm pre-ordering yours, because it sounds amazing.)
Nice to meet you,
Kari

Nice to meet you too!

It's a lovely book. I'm looking forward to Grass King. (And thank you!)
