Blue Girl
Blue Girl | Charles de Lint
8 posts | 24 read | 10 to read
This ALA Best Book for Young Readers is now available in paperback. When Imogene and her family move to Newford, she quickly gets to know two very different people. Maxine is a good girl following a strict life plan. Adrian is a bit more unusual--he's a ghost who has a huge crush on Imogene.

I really liked this! I do love the references to other characters in some of de Lint‘s other Newford books, as well. The viewpoint changes between Imogene, Maxine, and Adrian, and a bit of back and forth in time, but you are told at the beginning of each chapter whose POV you are following and when, so I didn‘t find it too tricky to follow. I would love to read more from Newford, but always hard to choose which one next

#Blue #ReadingResolutions

Most people here know by now that I'm a big Charles de Lint fan. This past Wedensday I found a used copy of another one of his books that I haven't yet read! 🤘

Craftylikefox Nice!!! I am always on the look out for his books. I usually have to order them online. 6y
Kammbia1 I‘m a big Charles de Lint fan myself. Read a lot of his books over the years. Currently reading The Little Country. Read it back in the 90‘s. Good to re-read it again. (edited) 6y
TK421 Nice! I need to go back and read a few of his books again. 6y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @Craftylikefox The place where I go every week to get my comics also sells used books. The lady at the counter knows what I like and tucks stuff aside until I get there on Wedensdays to pick and choose from. 🤗 6y
Rudis This is one of the first I ever read by him - you‘re in for a treat! 6y
Craftylikefox That‘s awesome that they do that for you! 6y

So sorry you‘ve got the #bookslumpblues, @hermyknee 😫 Hope they‘re over soon!
1. Introvert, boy howdy
2. Always want to sleep more but end up doing more instead. No rest for the wicked!
3. Audiobook
4. Ugh. Devil take ‘em both 😖😖😖
5. Stack five books from your TBR & vary genres. Read the first chapter / 25 pages from each. Anything entrance you? Great: slump over. No? Repeat until riveted. Works with digital e-book samples too!

hermyknee That‘s a good idea! 7y
