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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think there are three Tiffany Aching books so far, and a fourth planned.
As -t said, there are 4. They're splendid, and David's right about the audiobooks. Stephen Briggs is a marvelous reader.
David, I am particularly fond of "Crivens!" myself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
PC indicated that there was some kind of twist that would make it work.
I wasn't sure what, specifically, your objection was at the time, so I was referring to something else. I don't recall the specifics of how this objection is addressed, but I hope it's explained satisfactorily enough not to hinder your enjoyment!
As far as fully grown clones go, memories or no memories, it sounds like they were able to grow Kelly's clone pretty quickly. Full-body cloning appears to be fairly routine over at the CDC.

Ann, that's a ferret.
