The Child Thief
After spotting it at a shop and being intrigued by the cover art and back jacket flap, I got The Child Thief from the library the other day, and finished it on my way out the door this morning.
Four out of five stars. Definitely worth reading - and definitely not suitable for a Disney/kids movie.
Ignore the "reboot" bit of the description - I like Brom's characterization in the epilogue much better. He explains the inspiration for the story by giving some choice passages from Barrie's original, and that's way more creepy than "a reboot."

Sandman Slim
While laid up with my back, I ripped throug Sandman Slim. A rather enjoyable bit of fluff.
I'm uncomfortable (thanks to my back) and sorta loopy (thanks to the muscle relaxant which only seems to be relaxing my grey matter), so rather than write anything - I'll just say "what she said.
