I'm in the UK and started reading GINGERBREAD by Helen Oyeyemi the other day and have fallen in love with it. It's the first of Helen's books that I have read. Even though I've not yet finished reading it I have gone out and bought What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours and Boy, Snow, Bird both by this author.
I read Speak and Winter Girls by Anderson in high school. I had no idea there was going to be a follow up to Speak, but thanks for bringing it to my awareness
