Oh, seconding the Raven Boys recommendation! I have been loving these; they remind me of all the things I loved about Charles de Lint back in the day. So, so great.
I have been going pretty light with my reading while dealing with the kid, but I'm really enjoying the Ben Aaronovitch Peter Grant series, and also have been reading the collected ElfQuest from the library.

I would like to put a plug in for The Raven Boys Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. (The Raven Boys, Dream Thieves, and Blue Lily, Lily Blue. The Raven King should be coming out this fall/winter.) I devoured this series. Blue is the pragmatic daughter of a psychic, in fact the only family member with no psychic ability of her own. She has been told her entire life however that if she kisses her true love, he will die. And then her aunt comes to town and tells her that this is the year she will meet him. There is SOO MUCH more to this series than that, but I don't want to give anything away.Also, the performer for the audio was phenomenal as well, Will Patton I believe?- Carol--On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 8:42 PM, Kris Howell <aneerieangle@gmail.com> wrote:Katrina said: Amusingly, the library doesn't think that this book is fantasy.How have they classified it??Just curious.KrisTo unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to tamson-house+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.--On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 10:30 AM, Katrina Knight <kknight@fastmail.fm> wrote:At 12:23 PM 7/29/2015, 'Ellen Rawson' via Tamson House wrote:
It's Elizabeth Hand's latest book, Wylding Hall.
This sounds interesting. I've added it to my already huge wish list.
While we're on the subject or recommending books, I have a recommendation to make too - The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg. I found this book at my library last week. I'm about two-thirds of the way through and really enjoying it. Ceony Twill is apprenticed to a paper magician despite her desire to work with metals rather than paper. After she's barely begun to learn to use paper magic, her teacher is attacked by a rogue magician who practices the dark art of flesh magic and Ceony must save him. The magic involved is interesting rather cliched and the characters are likable. There are at two sequels which I intend to get from the library as well.
Amusingly, the library doesn't think that this book is fantasy.
