Anne of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery.

This had some cute moments in it, but I was mostly skeeved by the whole Miss Lavendar plotline :( why was I skeeved by it :(

The Callendar Papers, by Cynthia Voigt.

This was pretty good, with some brilliant moments in it - I didn't like that I could see the big revelation coming from a mile away, but aside from that it was pretty good? I mean, this was pitched at a younger demographic than Voigt normally writes for so. I appreciate the continued commitment to gender equality (whoo, suffragists!) and all round badassery, so while what I'm really longing for is the full throttle adult Gothic remixing of this novel, this was pretty good by itself. Yay!

A Solitary Blue, by Cynthia Voigt.

( Lovely, lovely, lovely. )

Sons From Afar, by Cynthia Voigt.

( Ughghgh, JAMES. )

The Runner, by Cynthia Voigt.

♥BULLET♥ and his anger and defiance and love of running and also, ♥TAMER SHIPP♥ and ♥AB TILLERMAN♥ and love love love also I love how we get to see the Tillermans' father and NO SURPRISE THERE: he's a jerk. Also, mad props for how Cynthia Voigt juggles the timelines - I guess this means that it's 1978 when Homecoming takes place, which is earlier than I'd expected but also fits.

Now I'm kind of sad that there's only one book left in the Tillerman cycle I haven't read :(

I - I know this is my third post of the day but

Sometimes all I want from life is to talk about Velvet Goldmine with someone, okay.

I have been watching fanvideos set to Shudder to Think for the past hour, it is all very dire. /o\
