#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.
