This series ender suffers a bit at the start from wrap-up syndrome, needed to remind us/catch us up with the overall story, but of course I loved it. I will miss the annual adventures of Apothecary's apprentice and incendiary-device-lover Christopher ...more | |

A new (and I hope not final) addition to the Jackaby series, which you need to read first--despite what the blurb says--but Lucky You coming to them for the first time. This one's my favorite of them all, due to its starring the redoubtable (and titu ...more | |

“I inhaled the musty, leathery, old-papery scent and a shiver passed over me. If I had any idea of heaven, it was this: shelves and shelves of books, ten times as many as were upstairs, each with stories or pictures more exciting and beautiful than the next, and two overstuffed chairs big enough for me to sleep in.”

“The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.”

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
