Books 2012: 243-246
243. Sherwood Smith, Revenant Eve. DAW, 2012.
A third volume in Smith's Ruritanian romance, this one involves magical ghostly time-travelling on the part of the protagonist Kim: as a ghostly observer, she witnesses the youth of her ancestress Aurelie in the 1790s and early 1800s, and must act as a spirit guide. This makes for a novel very weird in terms of structure and emphasis, although the historical parts seem very solid: I hold out hopes that Smith will write a straight (or nearly so) historical some day.
244-246. John Marsden, While I Live, Incurable, and Circle of Flight.
More terrible but cracky YA, sequels to the Tomorrow series.
