I’m leaning Six of Crows but I also really loved The Familiar, but there is not another stand alone to go with it.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

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!
