ZOMG just found out one of my favorite authors has a new book coming out in October!!! :D

Glory O'Brien's History of the FutureGlory O'Brien's History of the Future by A.S. King





I may need to do a post later about the awesome that is A.S. King. Her books are just some of the most beautiful things I have ever read. They are true Young Adult novels, with older teens dealing with real issues, but not in a "special edition" kind of way - it feels real (which is funny since each book has this tiny little element of magic to it...little twists of fate or alternate realities or different ways of thinking that help each character cope with their life - it's hard to explain really).

If you haven't read anything by A.S. King I HIGHLY recommend "Everyone Sees the Ants" and "Ask the Passengers". So amazingly good, I can't even.

I'll have to try to read something by her one day soon. Reading the synopsis for the new book, I'm intrigued to see what her writing is like...
