The Mary Sue Books and More Club discussion

I'd like to submit for possibilities two books I've been meaning to read!

Dreams Underfoot- by Charles de Lint. If you like fantasy (read: if you like Neil Gaiman/Pratchett etc type stuff for sure!) I hope you've read or will look into reading Charles de Lint. This is the first book in his long running Newford series. Newford itself is a transformational town, a place where people find themselves when they are lost, and go when they need a place to hide or be understood. A town very accepting of people's (and other characters!) oddities and quirks.

Second book:
Dreamwood- by Heather Mackey. Appears to be a classic coming of age fantasy book. It's been on my to read list so I thought I'd put it forth.

Apparently I'm in a dreaming way...

Are we no longer using the bookshelf?

I'd like to read Year of the Flood. I read Oryx and Crake recently and I really enjoyed it.

I'm also looking forward to Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. It comes out in mid May. I think it also involves themes of metamorphosis as humanity leaves Earth and centuries or millennia in space change what people are like.

I already read Year Of The Flood, but it was great and I would happily re-read it, I forget a lot of the details. I read it before Oryx And Crake (the first book in the series) and I understood it fine, in case anyone is worried about not having read it first.

I was going to nominate Parable Of The Sower by Octavia Butler (fits the spring theme, God is Change), but I understand having two books by the same author might not work.

I nominate:
The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin- a man visits a planet where people have no set gender or sex, instead they change into either a male or female body when it is time to procreate.

The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson- A woman suffers from multiple personalities, and changes from one to another quite suddenly.

I'd like to nominate The Shape-Changer's Wife by Sharon Shinn. It's fairly short, but completely about change.

Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke would be a sci-fi classic option. The matamorphosis involved is a bit of a spoiler.

The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness is one on my to-read list.

I will nominate Salt Fish Girl by Larissa Lai, which features a shapeshifter who can turn into a fish, snake, and woman, and a young girl coming of age. So we get both supernatural metamorphosis and real-life metamorphosis in one!

I nominate A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas, it's about a girl, Feyre, who kills a wolf and then gets dragged into the faerie realms as payment for the wolf's life. It definitely has themes of metamorphosis, plus some literal metamorphosis.
