Booking through Thursday: Huh?
W00t, time for this week’s Booking through Thursday!
What’s your favorite book that nobody else has heard of? You know, not Little Women or Huckleberry Finn, not the latest best-seller . . . whether they’ve read them or not, everybody “knows” those books. I’m talking about the best book that, when you tell people that you love it, they go, “Huh? Never heard of it?”
I bet mine aren’t really all that obscure. And it’s not usually the books that gbifve people pause. I always feel like Charles de Lint is kind of an obscure author, even though he’s pretty popular among the sort of people that like his brand of urban fantasy. As for romance, I’m still such a newbie to the genre that I read books others rec me, which sort of negates the whole obscurity thing.
Ferrol Sams: Run with the Horsemen. Funny, poignant, a slice of the southern mindset during the depression, it also gave me the phrase “Raised Right”.
Not romance at all. Or Sci fi. Just a nice book.
I love Charles de Lint, and I’m always surprised when people haven’t heard of him.

Yep she wrote Gay Romance and had it published by a New York Publisher.
