Just finished This I Know, by Eldonna Edwards.

If I hadn't read Clover Blue first, I probably would not have picked up this, her first book, based on the description. But, I trusted the author, so I tried it. I'm glad I did. It's a good mix of supernatural woo-woo, and coming of age. Recommended.

Currently reading There Is No Antimemetics Division, by British author qntm.

This is more of my usual sci-fi fare, and I'm enjoying it. I feel like I've come across this trope before, but not explored in such detail. Recommended.
