omg, why would the author of rapture practice tell you all about his strict religious parents and not tell you what happened when he came out? Unless... he didn't come out and he's counting on them to never read it? Maybe it's a pseudonym? Still though!

My year of rest and relaxation sounds like my kind of year! ;) Sounds interesting though.

I don't think I've ever heard of House of Stairs, sounds like an interesting book!

Thanks for sharing, as always!
