zuisa, I've only read 3 of them, but I completely agree. I intend to recommend Paper Towns and Will Grayson to most of the adolescents I know.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My favorites were The Fault in Our Stars and An Abundance of Katherines. The protagonist of the latter was basically me. There were seriously times when I was like JOHN GREEN GET OUT OF MY HEAD HOW DO YOU KNOW I THINK LIKE THAT.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was kind of angry that Sunshine by Robin McKinley did not have a sequel.
I was disappointed that Sunshine by Robin McKinley did not have a cookbook. sigh ....

Thrive to spite them
Has anyone read How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove?
It was recommended to me, but I'm having a hard time getting into it for a variety of reasons and I feel like I'm being too picky. Is it good, shoould I stick with it?

Yeah. I want the Death of Marat cake. I also want a sequel to the book, but I've resigned myself to that not happening.
The Night Circus is another book that stand alone. Erin Morganstern has said she's not writing a sequel for it. Again, I am not thrilled about this news. I want more of that world.

We just added a Jane Yolen graphic novel about fencing to the school library! I squeed on 3 fronts! (The one before the one she writes about above.)

That's wonderful. I read a bunch of Jane Yolen when I was a kid. I think my favorite was Wizard's Hall.
