Horseshoe Book Stands

Tyler Tucker and Jeremy Williams made these nifty horseshoe book stands, and I bought some for the library. You will see them scattered around.

The Truth About Forever (FIC Dessen)

“That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking.” 
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

Though it appears to be a romance, The Truth About Forever is more about grief. I appreciated the excellent writing and the fabulous characters most.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (FIC Clarke)

“Well, I suppose one ought not to employ a magician and then complain that he does not behave like other people.” 
― Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

I read the book soon after it came out in 2006 and really liked it. People tend to either love it or hate it because Clarke purposefully writes in a mock Victorian author sort-of-way, and the novel is unabashedly sprawling in scope.

Even if you don't have the stomach for the novel, you might enjoy the BBC television version. I watched it over break and thought it was the best television I have seen in a long time, maybe ever! If you like fantasy and British tv, I am certain you will enjoy this. So. Good.
