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.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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."

I was kind of angry that Sunshine by Robin McKinley did not have a sequel.

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.
