#Whatcha Reading? I'm rereading Tam Lin by Pamela Dean, which I have little memory of other than loving it. (I'm a sucker for any book set at college or boarding school. Miss Pym Disposes, Gaudy Night, Cat Among the Pigeons , Daddy-Long-Legs -- all gems.)

Reading it reminded me (unsurprisingly) of Fire and Hemlock by DWJ, which makes me wonder if there's any non creepy way to retell Tam Lin? But I don't know the ending yet.

@willaful Tam Lin is one of my all-time favorites. I also love books set at colleges or boarding schools (but I dislike mysteries). I'm midway through Loveless by Alice Oseman, which coincidentally does take place at a university.

@jensilber You might try "Miss Pym Disposes," it's a very un-typical mystery. Most of Tey's books are.

Alas, I did not love Loveless. I actually haven't really liked any of her books except the Heartstopper series, which of course I adore because I'm not a monster.

@willaful I may give it a shot. I'm finding Loveless very slow moving, but I basically never DNF books.
@willaful I love Daddy-Long-Legs, but wow, it shows its age.
@JoanGrey Really does... and Dear Enemy even more so, quite excruciatingly.

@willaful I'm half way through "If Only You" by Chloe Liese. Despite my reservation about het romance, people keep recommending Liese's books for good autism rep.

It's fine, so far. I enjoy Liese's writing style, and I think the autistic FMC is written well and interesting.

The MMC, though, is rough for me. He's the "bad boy horny caveman who feels extremely broken but is actually a sweetheart but no one can know". That whole "I can save him from his frozen heart" thing. 🙄

@rick I'll have to try that one. She's hit or miss for me.

@willaful On reflection:

- Decent autism rep. Not amazing, as it’s not front and center. But nothing anyone could really complain about.
- Good general disability rep. MMC has gluten issues. Side characters with a ton of disabilities.
- Good romance arc. The MMC is a golden retriever & doesn’t do anything too stupid and dudebrosportsguy-ish.

My only complaints are around the male POV, with which allosexuals would probably be fine.

@willaful One of my forever favorite books! Might be time for another re-read. Also, I've read Daughter of Time, but never Miss Pym Disposes, so I will be picking that one up. (Thank you!)
@kellacampbell Oh, it's amazing too, in a somewhat different way.
