I already know that I won't be able to cope at all with Lost Girls, which makes me sad because I so much love Alan Moore. And I've read enough interviews with him and reviews of the book that I understand intellectually what he and his coauthor/artist are doing and why, I respect it enormously, and I'll defend it ferociously, but I still know there's absolutely no way I personally can read it.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
WHY? What other books of hers do you all recommend?
Everything! I find her consistently wonderful. You should probably start with Castle in the Air, the sequel to Howl's Moving Castle.
Other favourites of mine are Darklord of Derkholm and Power of Three. I also recommend all the Chrestomanci books (there's a new one coming out in October!)

Yes, I'm very excited! I didn't think to link to it in my previous post, so here it is.

"I love their text! It just has so much sub."
That makes, what, six Books, and seven short stories in the Chrestomanci universe(s)?

Well, it hasn't been posted here, yet.
Naomi Novik's Temeraire series has been optioned by Peter Jackson.
Heh.

Six books, yes. I only know the four short stories that were collected in Mixed Magics. Are there more?

Oh, yes! One I know what only published in Brittain (only one mag) where Millie is confused for another person in one of her other books continuities.
And then there's another short story in a different anthology and I think she's got another one in Unexpected Magic but I'm not sure...
