Did you read Across the Wall?

It totally ships Lirael/Nick.

Well, I must admit Mogget is my favorite character.

My next cat will be named that.

So, who read Lady Friday?

Superior Saturday should come out some time this year.

Mogget is great! A quote "Wet, cold and full of holes. Another fun day on the river." I love that!

I've got Lady Friday; I'm guessing Superior Saturday will be out around April - he usually publishes one a year about that time.

He actually published Lady Friday on my birthday (or the day before) here in the US. I got it for my birthday, actually.

Mogget rocks.

It came out about 2 weeks before mine, here in the UK. So did New Moon last year; I begged my friend to get it for me - normally I advise people to give me book tokens instead.
Mogget is hilarious. His best quote? "Yum!"
A cookie for anyone who can put that in context

I also dream of a 4 part trilogy, the stories of the 9 bright shiners and of nehima and Chlorr, how she left being an Abhorsen to become a necromancer. Abhorsen leaves a lot of question unanswered, such as how could kerrigor have consumed Yrael, one of the shiners?

If I get a cat, it will be called Yrael.

I slowly forget the entire plot of the keys to kingdom every year, by the time I reach the next book, I have to remember everything. That didn't happen with the old kindom...

Yes, I've had that problem too with the Keys to the Kingdom.

Though I got all the Old Kingdom books from the library so I don't know if I would have had that problem or not.

I like the Keys to the Kingdom better though...

I don't.

Cause there's no Mogget in them. Mogget is the one who makes the books have a special shine to them.

Agreed

Yay I love the Old Kingdom and Mogget and the Disreputable Dog :D
'I had seen no evidence as yet that Nathaniel even knew what a girl was. If he'd ever met one chances are they'd both have run screaming in opposite directions.'
I loved the Keys to the Kingdom and the Abhorsen Trilogy. But I think Lady Friday and Superior Saturday were rather boring. They didnt have the kind of grip that just makes you stick to the book. Among the Abhorsen Trilogy, I think Sabriel were better than Lirael and Abhorsen. I dunno why, but I rather hate touchstone.
I loved Lirael....then my second favorite was Sabriel and then Abhorsen....I didn't even read all of Across the wall because it was just random stories after the first one.... ^o)

I haven't read all the Keys to the Kingdom books.....I've stopped at Lady Friday.....I'm not sure if I can be bothered to read the next two.... :ermm:
