Oh, Shaun Tan, I want to marry him and have his little, strange children. or maybe I want to eat his brain. Depends how creepy I'm being (and I'm not actually sure which is creepier . . .) The man is too brilliant to be from this planet.

I gushed about Code Name Verity, too. Amazing book.

Almost you convince me to try Libba Bray again. I can't actually remember which book of hers I kept trying to read and just couldn't get into. But horrific monsters in the Roaring Twenties? Think I'll have to dip into that one.
