Re: Recommend me some books?
i don't know if you've read her work before, but one of my favorite authors is tamora pierce, who writes the knights with magic kind of fantasy (...does this make any sense? i'm a little bit sleep deprived haha). bonus points are that all the main characters are female and fucking awesome. i would recommend starting with "the song of the lioness" quartet, which is about a girl named alanna who dresses up as her brother to become a knight. she's also written two other quartets, a duology and some short stories, all in the same universe.
graceling by kristen cashore is an amazing book about a girl named katsa who lives in a world where some people are born with specific magic powers called "graces". graces can be anything, but katsa has a deadly grace of killing people, which her uncle the king uses to his advantage. it's a well written, well paced and incredibly creative book which i pretty highly recommend. there's a sequel called bitterblue which i've started but didn't finish due to time constraints. there's also a companion book called fire, which i haven't read yet. YMMV on whether or not fire is worth reading because, although it takes place in the same universe as graceling and bitterblue, i hear it has none of the original characters from graceling.
i also ADORE francesca lia block's writing, and think her stuff is greatly underrated. her most well known book series is called weetzie bat, an eccentric book about a creative girl named weetzie who doesn't fit in but learns to accept herself, quirks and all. currently, there are five books in the series (which are a little hard to describe in great detail without spoiling the plot so i'll try to describe it to the best of my abilities). there's witch baby, which is about weetzie's daughter who struggles to fit in with her family due to the strangeness of her birth; cherokee bat and the goat guys is about weetzie's other daughter cherokee whose in a band with her friends; there's missing angel juan, which is about witch baby going on a journey to find her boyfriend angel juan who runs away and finally, there's baby be-bop which is about weetzie's gay friend dirk dealing with his sexuality. it takes place pre-weetzie and the other four books. there's also a sequel to this series (necklace of kisses, which i didn't read) and a prequel (pink smog). block mainly writes magical realism with a dash of odd about girls who want to find their place in the world, and i highly recommend all of her work, including her poetry.
i'm just gonna stop here for now because i probably won't stop talking if i keep going, haha. (if you want to keep hearing me talk just tell me and i'll go on!)
