Obviously Alix Earle isn’t going to have to worry about this one. ‘I will see you in the parking lot after this’: when book clubs get dramatic. - (The Guardian)

Kit Moonstar is doing a reread of Mercedes Lackey’s Velgarth books, starting with the Mage Wars trilogy. “I really enjoyed both the world-building that happens as well as seeing the characters evolve over a longer period of time.” What books from your youth would you like to revisit?
