darchildre: children reading books in a field. (books are for adventure!)
I need a new book*, as I have just finished the not-actually-properly-a-horror-novel I was reading** and I have been poking at my want-to-read list on Goodreads and finding nothing that really appeals. After a few minutes of this, I realized that the reason I can't find anything is that I want something that's like Frances Hardinge but also isn't Frances Hardinge because I've already read all the Frances Hardinge and I don't know anyone else, really, who writes books like hers.

It's a problem.








*I am still reading the WWI horror book but it is nonfiction and thus I need something fictional to balance it out.

**The Auctioneer by Joan Samson, which was good but did not turn out to be the kind of horror I thought it was. I had somehow gotten the impression that the devil was in it but alas, all the devils turned out to be metaphorical.
