She's very well-read. And she's very stylish, don't you think?

Anyone have good book recommendations? The library I go to doesn't have very extensive collections of the authors I'm familiar with and other people keep checking out things I want to read, so at some point I'm going to have to expand my tastes, but I'm not sure where to start. At the moment, I'm big on Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Jim Butcher and Christopher Moore, so stuff in that vein would probably work best, though if there's something you think would render my life would be incomplete if I didn't read it, feel free to rec that too!

I always feel like *everyone's* life is incomplete if they haven't read Jaqueline Carey's Kushiel Series.

I absolutely second that!

I'm obsessed with Sarah Vowell right now, I've been reading The Wordy Shipmates. I don't know if you're a history nerd like me, but it's a really good book.

In that case, I'll definitely have to give it a go! Thank you!

Well, I could always stand to be more historically nerdy, so I'll look into this. Thank you!

Have you tried Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen by Garth Nix? He's Australian but I'm sure I saw the books in China so it should be fine in Singapore... right?

Heh, I should hope so. I'd never heard of it before, but it sounds quite good! Thank you!

No probs!
