.you must be mad, or else you wouldn't have come here

I never read Fire and Hemlock myself, so I cannot say anything about it. The books I mentioned in my feedback are rather good, though, as is the Howl series - though I have to confess I only watched the animated version of the first book and read the third. That one stars a red-haired, bespectacled bookworm, though, so I have to love it. :P
As for Harry Potter, I really like Rowling's writing, as she's quite good at descriptions and character development. It's the movies that annoy me.

Subtlety is my middle name. *pauses* No, wait, that's Isabel. :P Aw, chucks. *blushes* SO HAPPY YOU'VE RETURNED, EVEN IF ONLY MORE OR LESS! YAYYY!
