54. Flora's Dare: How a Girl of Spirit Gambles All to Expand Her Vocabulary, Confront a Bouncing Boy Terror, and Try to Save Califa From a Shaky Doom by Ysabeau Wilce.
55. The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia McKillip.
56. James J. Hill and the Opening of the Northwest by Albro Martin.
57. King's Blood Four (Book One of The True Game) by Sheri S. Tepper.
58. Subterranean Twin Cities by Greg Brick.
59. Hey, Hmong Girl, Whassup? The Journal of Choua Vang by Leah Rempel.

60. Necromancer Nine (Book Two of The True Game) by Sheri S. Tepper. These books are so good, people. There are apparently nine of them (three related-but-separate trilogies), and I'm seriously considering picking up the rest of the books as soon as I finish this first trilogy. Tepper's prose is exquisite, and there is some crazy-ass shit in here: a valley of Shifters that reads like a Dali painting of the X-Men's encounters with Legion or Jamie Braddock, Gormenghast-in-a-spaceship, gibbering monsters with surprise feminism . . . I am kind of amazed that I had not heard of this stuff before Kelly Link pressed it upon me. SERIOUSLY IT'S REALLY GOOD READ IT.

It's been a long time since I read these, but I should warn you, if I remember rightly they get less awesome before the end.

Ah, good to know. I should say that I'm a tad less than trusting of Tepper, given that the only book I'd read by her before this took a weird turn 2/3rds through that left me dissatisfied. So I have my antennae up in case something like that happens here . . . but so far, I'm liking it.

Hi- I came across this blog and think your readers might be interested in submitting their work to Narrative Magazine- it publishes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art-- everything! And they also have some writing contests going on now that you and your readers might be interested in. Thanks!

Lovely magazine, but I can't go along with charging writers to submit, sorry. Money should flow to the writer.
