Please reminisce, fondly or not, about any of these, or other books read in childhood, especially if they seem to have, deservedly or undeservedly, vanished from the shelves. I'd love to hear about non-US, non-British books, too.

It was our first Christmas in the attic. Little had we realized, on that terrible day when Momma had first explained that we were the forbidden children of an incestuous Psy-Changeling marriage and that she, a powerful Cardinal Psy, had fled PsyNet to marry her half-Changeling, half-Psy, half-uncle, but after he was killed by Psy assassins she had been forced to flee to the elegant but cold home of her mother, who locked us in the attic as punishment for Momma's incestuous sins and also to protect us from the deadly Psy Council who would erase the dark blot of our existence, that it would be years before we saw the yellow of hope and sunlight again.

Did you read the whole series? (The real series - Flowers, Petals, If there be thorns, and Seeds - i.e., the books written before she died). I also loved, loved, loved Heaven, and many of my peers loved My Sweet Audrina, although I did not care for that one.

Nalini Singh...
- is responsible for my tag "adverb male" (ie, resolutely male, ineluctably male, ineffably male, etc)
- has Psy characters whose eyes are like the night sky, and when they come the white stars become multi-colored fireworks.
