Thanks Owen for this list.

I am currently reading the Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart. It is a delightful read. This is a story about a high school sophmore girl who takes action when she is excluded from her boyfriend's all male secret society.
I read the City of Thieves back in April. It is as you say sad and provides a realistic view of a besieged city; however I still found humor in the interaction between these two young men.
I haven't been able to keep up with what I've been reading... but right now I'm closing in on the end of City of Thieves. It has been a wonderful read - sad and disturbing, but good!

You are the 3rd person I have heard this summer recommend "Water for Elephants" and "The Time Traveler's Wife". They must be good books!

Me too. Ironically, I think The Sorceress and the Cygnet is one of the few books of hers that I haven't read.
I read Water for Elephants and reread The Time Traveler's Wife as well as a really GREAT Harry Potter fandom book called Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli. (It's about the phenomenon of Harry Potter and how it affected the world.)

Patricia McKillip is a great fantasy writer.
I just finished The Sorceress and the Cygnet by Patricia A. Mickillip, and then after I have finished my required reading, (A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court) I will read Les Miserables......
