Andria’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

oh, Richard Katz! Perfect. I was hoping to get a mix of classic and contemporary, and you're nailing it.

Great list! Thanks, LG. As usual, you rock.

Additional suggestions welcome. :)

I'm mostly interested in adult fiction, but YA/NA is good too. Marital status irrelevant. Minor characters welcome. Thanks!

It is SO GOOD.

Anna Dressed in Blood

Either, I guess. But I was thinking more of psychological flaws. Like being self-centered or controlling or having no sense of humor.

You're welcome!

The Visconti House?

Another possibility: Radiant Darkness

I'm looking for fictional characters who would make terrible boyfriends IRL. Not straight-up evil, villainous psychopaths - but guys with flaws that would make them poor romantic partners.

Revolutions of the Heart? The cover doesn't fit but the plot kind of does.

You're welcome. Happy to help. I'll move the thread to Solved for you. :)

If Lilac is in the UK, she may well have read one of the Silver Dolphins series linked to in her last post. It looks like those books were published in UK before US, with a UK pub date of May 2009, so they could have been in her school library before school ended for the year.

If we don't hear back from her I think this could be Possibly Solved

Link: The Magic Charm. by Summer Waters

I've moved the thread. Thanks for helping out with housekeeping, LG. :)

Congrats on finding your book, Faith! I'll add it to our shelves and move the thread to Solved. :)

Flicker?

You're welcome! :)

But...perhaps it's Miss Tizzy?

Miss Tizzy wears a purple hat with a white flower in it. She lives in a pink house with an overgrown garden. Parents may think her peculiar, but the children love her.

Together, Miss Tizzy and the children bake cookies, make pictures for people who have stopped smiling, play dress-up, put on puppet shows and parades, and strech out on bright quilts in Miss Tizzy's backyard for an evening of singing songs about the moon.

Hey Betsy, I promise none of the librarians will think you're creeperish! We get these kinds of questions all the time and most of us enjoy them. :)

Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen? MC is called Thornmallow.
