Just finished reading the Costa-award-winning "The Lie Tree" by Frances Hardinge. Moved on to start reading her also award-winning "Fly By Night". High quality young adult fantasies.

Then read a short story collection by Jonathan Carroll, The Panic Hand.
Now reading a Penelope Lively children's novel, The Ghost of Thomas Kempe and A Red Herring Without Mustard, 3rd in the series by Alan Bradley.
I've finnished The Raven Boys, and loved it. I kind of wish I'd waited until I have the rest of the series to read, because now I'm absolutely dying to read the next book, and have to wait. *pouts*Since I do have to wait, however, I read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and then started The Martian.
Finished A Red Herring Without Mustard which I enjoyed as much as the previous Alan Bradley crime novel I read, and have now started Forensics: The Anatomy of Crime by Val McDermid.

Love historical fiction, though tough to explain the genre to my literal husband. "Wait, if it's fiction, how is it history?" Sigh.
