I haven't yet, but I would like to. Eleanor and Park more than Fangirl, though, or at least first.

I have Eleanor and Park on my table right now. I haven't started it because I'm also reading a Saenz book that I'd love to finish first.

So I bought E&P because it was on a list of recs by an author I like. But I can't remember who wrote the list (not John Green, though, he likes E&P also), nor can I remember where I read the list. It was in the lower right hand corner of the list. Now I wish I could find it because I'd like to see what else was there! Alas, my memory is SHIT.

I just put Eleanor & Park on my library list after reading the The Toast interview with the author.

Tumblr is reading Fangirl as its first official Tumblr Bookclub book. Which I thought would be fun, but I had to unfollow -- I haven't had a chance to pick up the book yet, and it was post after post of gushing praise and fanart and memes, and it was a little overwhelming. I'd still like to read both, though.

I wound up starting Joe Hill's Horns, but I've been so busy I haven't gotten very far. I loved Heart-Shaped Box so much, I think I'm also nervous this one won't measure up.

I read that interview, too, Jesse. It looks pretty awesome.

I'm actually most of the way through fan girl at the moment. Enjoying it but not sure how I will like the ending. I feel like she is...focusing the plot in places other than I would want? Or something. Hard to explain.

I finished Rose Under Fire, and agree with Consuela that it was very good, but sometimes hard going. I had expectations for this book and wasn't disappointed. Elizabeth Wein is at Politics & Prose tomorrow night, and while I don't think I can get there, they do post recordings of the readings, so that's something to listen to someday soon.

I'm reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and it's so good. There are so many beautiful lines in the book that capture the ineffable sweetness of friendship as well as the angst of everything else. So far I'd recommend it. (Anyone else read it?)

I finished Fangirl. It ended slightly abruptly. I thought there would be another chapter or three, and suddenly there wasnt. Weird. But it was interesting, and I liked the descriptions of the fanficcing, even if not super much some of the character/plot.

Just finished Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. It was beautifully done. Not an easy book but it was a great coming out story (if that's your cup of tea) and the language was excellent. Amazingly good. Good enough to dogear pages to find quotes that were excellent.

Now I'm on to Eleanor and Park and so far I am enjoying it.

I have Eleanor and Park, but I grabbed Please Ignore Vera Dietz off my shelf last night on the way out the door, and it's fantastic. A.S. King is blowing me away.

I wrote about Aristotle and Dante in a GLBT roundup of books for teens earlier this year, and it really looked great.
