Of Swords and Parasols

I am definitely interested in Drowning Girl -- I have a weakness for unreliable narrators! Which reminds me, you should (maybe) check out The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket). It is filled with vocabulary in-jokes much like the Series of Unfortunate Events with additional Reading Group discussion in-jokes, and the most unreliable of narrators who is also awesome. (One TW for a shocking scene of violence; otherwise the book is just dark comedy.)
