Reader News: Eva Ibbotson’s Older Titles Now Available

by Avid Reader on September 24, 2007

Check the YA book­shelf next time you’re in the bookstore.  Eva Ibbotson’s hard to find adult nov­els are being reprinted and shelved there (she cur­rently writes YA nov­els or more like for young read­ers). It just goes to show you that book­stores still have a big prob­lem shelv­ing books in the appro­pri­ate aisle and unfor­tu­nately, these books are miss­ing their audi­ence. This is yet another pet peeve of mine.  I can’t say that I am too wild about the cov­ers but it’s good to see them in print. I did read The Morn­ing Gift which I rated a B read. Ms. Ibbot­son is a won­der­ful author. Check her out. In the YA aisle. Hey, you may find some other good YA nov­els to read while you’re there.

Both A Count­ess Below Stairs and A Com­pany of Swans are won­der­ful books but Count­ess is my all time favorite of hers so far

Nath, you can’t order these titles online? Ama​zon​.com has them.
Hi Dance Chica, thanks for stop­ping by.
Li — I am work­ing on a review on a book that I recently read that is YA and it was pretty good. Some YA nov­els are bet­ter than the adult nov­els that are avail­able out there now.

Hey, I hang out in the YA aisle! :-) Sort of.

Seri­ously, I’d say about one in 10 books I read can be clas­si­fied as YA.

I’m with Nath — why are her books so darned hard to find? Esp if they’re reis­sued — Ama​zon​.co​.uk says it can’t find “A Com­pany of Swans” even when they have a re-issue date of Sept 2007. Arrgghh.

I like the cov­ers. I think they’re pretty. I recently bought A Count­ess Below Stairs.
