What a shame.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
SHIT.

I don't own any Joan Aiken. May have to rectify that this weekend...

Sigh.
She had a couple of books translated into Hebrew (with Dido - how much I liked her), I had no idea she was so prolific.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Oh no! I couldn't tell you how many books of hers I've read -- or how many times I've read each of those.

Crap! Another one bites the dust. It will make the sequel to "Wolves of Willoughby Chase" bittersweet (goes to Amazon, puts book on Wish List)

or how many times I've read each of those.
Well, if any of them is as good as the couple I have read ("Nightbirds on Nantucket" and "Wolves of Willoghby Chase"), then they definitely deserve it. Ever since the first read (a library book, now lost from the library itself, never found in any second-hand bookstore) I couldn't get my hands on a copy of "Wolves", but I've read "Nightbirds on Nantucket" (from the same library, lost only years later, and, again, never seen in any store afterwards) over and over again (and before any of the others, too).
[Edit: could this sentence get any more confused or have more parentheses?]

I think that I still need Blackhearts in Battersea, Midnight is a Place, The Stolen Lake . . . and the new one of course.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
("Nightbirds on Nantucket" and "Wolves of Willoghby Chase"),
This makes me feel sad, because those two books are in a series, but they're a book apart. I guess the intervening books wasn't translated into Hebrew? I am distressed on behalf of Nilly and other Israeli children.
The series goes:
1 - The Wolves of Willoughby Chase 2 - Black Hearts in Battersea 3 - Nightbirds on Nantucket 4 - The Stolen Lake * 5 - The Cuckoo Tree 6 - Dido and Pa 7 - Is (or Is Underground) 8 - Limbo Lodge (or Cold Shoulder Road) 9 - Dangerous Games
and the forthcoming Midwinter Nightingale.
* Goes there chronologically but actually written after The Cuckoo Tree. The Whispering Mountain is set in the same world.
