I read the first one of those and it was very good. The second or third (forget if I read the third) went a little overboard imo.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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."

I just finished 2 books given to me as bday gifts (thanks, long holiday weekend!) How have I never read T. Kingfisher before?!?!? (Nettle & Bone and Thornhedge, before you ask) So freaking good!!!

Oh, you have so many good books to look forward to there!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Epic, now you have to read all the rest of them! May I suggest The Seventh Bride or A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking next.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Epic, there are some horror (or horror-leaning) books. I'd advise making sure you read those during the daytime.

Oh epic you’re in for some treats!! I am not a horror fan so have not read any of those but am crossing my fingers for new Kingfisher books soon (I just reread the latest paladin book which clearly is begging for a sequel)

A Sorceress Comes to Call is due to come out in about a month. Sounds similarly fairy tale ish to the two Epic just read (and others)

Noted! Though I found a copy of Swordheart on my TBR shelf (like there's only ONE TBR shelf, ha!), so I'm pretty sure that will be my next Kingfisher. I'm also pretty sure it was also a gift from the same friend as the new 2! Thank goodness she's persistent!

Swordheart is excellent, I feel certain you will enjoy it. I wish she would give us the other sword stories that I'm pretty sure were promised at some point, but given that she keeps writing other really good stuff meanwhile/instead I cannot really complain
