I’m leaning Six of Crows but I also really loved The Familiar, but there is not another stand alone to go with it.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

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 vote Ninth House, but I haven't read the others.

Same. I feel like I can't really weigh in since I didn't read Six of Crows.

Six of crows kind of has a place in my heart because it has a delicious disabled character in it.

Six of Crows is so good! I have had The Familiar on my reader since it came out but I have been weirdly reluctant to actually read it. No idea what that’s about. Anyway, I bet giving her Six of Crows to sign would be a nice treat for her, too, if for no reason other than she wrote it longer ago

along with a reminder to myself that uncritically getting all of them would still be a lot of money to spend on books when I have a huge TBR pile. Maybe just a couple

I'm finally starting on Watership Down for the first time in life... it's one of those holes, and now I am happily filling it. Just thought I'd share.

Watership Down is one of my comfort reads. Enjoy!
