Book miscellanea
Sherwood Smith has a new book out, Lhind the Thief. I haven't read it yet, but she says it contains "disguises, flying, swashbuckling on land and sea, tree-houses, secrets, telepathy, magical powers and spells, food, good-looking villains as well as heroes, and even some romance." You can buy it for $4.50 at Amazon (Lhind the Thief
) or at Book View Cafe, where the authors get 95% of the money (Lhind the Thief). That is my hand on the cover, attempting to launch a new career as a hand model.
Melinda Lo's delicious YA science fiction thriller Adaptation - think X-Files with a teenage bisexual heroine-- is a Kindle daily deal at $2.99. Do not click on the links for her upcoming sequel or on her upcoming promotional novella unless you want to get spoiled for everything! However, if you click on my author tag for her, you will be linked to a review with the spoiler-cut intact. Adaptation

no subject
Lucy Knisley's Relish and French Milk. The latter is a travel diary so not as focused and polished as Relish, but it's still good. Relish is very good. (It's a memoir mostly about food, what's not to like?)
Jennifer 8. Lee's The Fortune Cookie Chronicles.
Sofia Samatar's A Stranger in Olondria. Secondary-world fantasy, with a map yet. But not at all like what that is probably making you think of. It has a few minor things I would characterize as first-novel issues, but nothing that really hurt my enjoyment of it.
Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened. This is relevant to your interests, and since you like Allie Brosh's childhood stories on Hyperbole and a Half I think you would like this, or at least large chunks of it.
