... by Nora Marks Dauenhauer and Richard L. Dauenhauer. A pdf document I found on the web. Fascinating stuff. Book 120 Lirael and Book 121 Abhorsen by Garth Nix. These two books follow Nix’s wonderful Sabriel and really secure Nix as a master of fantasy and one of my favorite writers. ...

I'm fairly certain you're thinking of Garth Nix's books Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

... C. Wrede (Dealing with Dragons, The Raven Ring, Sorcery and Cecelia) is another fun author, and Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen) is excellent. Really you've got a lot of ground to cover. What in particular do you enjoy about Tamora Pierce and Shannon Hale? Giving that ...

... with 'I will if you ask me nicely' on it - but I was a little wary of displaying it too widely! There is, of course, Lirael who works in a library where armed parties of librarians patrol some areas!

#197: The 3 books in the trilogy are Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen, Terri.

... people than any other series. (Well, maybe tied with the Tales of the Otori books which are popular among the guys at work) Lirael and Abhorsen are my favorites. The three books are now available in one volume. The Keys to the Kingdom books are good but the middle books dragged a little.

I found Lirael (sequel to Sabriel) today in a used book store. Now I just need to find Sabriel...

... and Hemlock, and Howl's Moving Castle, all by Diana Wynne Jones... you can tell she's one of my favorite authors.... Lirael, by Garth Nix The Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner Plus a bunch of Tamora Pierce books that I've been reading forever and have kind of become favorites by default. ...

... souls to the afterlife. When he goes missing, Sabriel goes looking for him. Its YA but it reads well for adults. Lirael and Abhorsen are the next two books in the series. Also, I'm just curious, how would the Harry Potter Series hold up as an epic fiction?

Hmm... I had a bit of a blowout. The Authority: Book 3 Slayer Slang Lirael by Garth Nix (a fun guest speaker) Sign Language Phrases (I think that touchstone's wrong, but I can't find the right one). The Sentimental Bloke by CJ Dennis (Australian dialect poetry) And some Bollywood ...

I don't think I'd want to wear one of those uniforms (6) but i do want a waistcoat like Lirael! And a library chief with a magic sword. Now that would command respect!

... especially from my school psychologist hat, and am a big fan of the Abhorsen trilogy. I actually like the second book, Lirael, even better than Sabriel. I cannot disagree with some of your caveats about the Bawer book, although I still like him more than you. I think one of the things I ...

... i did think the ending was perhaps a tad abrupt overall i really liked Sabriel and I will be trying to hunt up a copy of Lirael and Abhorsen to find out what happens afterwards, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the second book is set a number of years later after the end of Sabriel ...

... House of the Scorpion is pretty powerful stuff. I love almost everything Garth Nix writes, especially Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

... Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien 7) Salamander by Thomas Wharton 8) The Old Kingdom Trilogy- (Sabriel, Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr, Abhorsen) by Garth Nix. Lirael is my favorite from the series. 9) Little, Big by John Crowley 10) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ...

My most reread are probably: - Lioness Rampant by Tamora Pierce - Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett - Lirael by Garth Nix - The Chronicles of Chrestomanci: Volume 1 by Diana Wynne Jones - either this one or Fire and Hemlock - Taggerung by Brian Jacques These are all books ...

I've got Garth Nix's trilogy Sabriel I read last night and Lirael I started this morning.

... introduced myself for next time... Another good load anyway, I really have to stop this: Sabriel by Garth Nix (Mind) Lirael by Garth Nix (Mind) Abhorsen by Garth Nix (Mind) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling (Sue Ryder) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ...

... the sixth book should be coming out this August. I also recommend Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy, consisting of Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. James Dashner's The 13th Reality: The Journal of Curious Letters is a wonderful middle-grade fantasy. I second the recommendations for the Pe ...

... and will definitely wait for the seventh to come out first. That shouldn't be a problem, as I am only halfway into Lirael (which I am loving, by the way. Ronin, you were right! I'm enjoying it a lot more than I did Sabriel). >104/105 flissp: Glad you found the message! Let ...

... am also keeping up with Nix's Keys of the Kingdom juvenile series, this one is by far my favorite of his. Have fun with Lirael--I think I like it even better.

6. Lirael by Garth Nix The second book in "The Old Kingdom Trilogy".

... I hadn't read it until now when the paperback came out in 2003 and I had read and enjoyed the first two parts Sabriel and Lirael. It was a wonderful and compelling conclusion to this trilogy. I also managed another chapter in The Passing of the Armies but I feel it is a more technical ...

... Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Through the Looking-Glass Memoirs of a Geisha Howl's Moving Castle Sabriel Lirael Abhorsen The Perks of Being a Wallflower Not in any kind of order, by the way. :)

I have all read all three books in the series Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. They were all well-written and many students have enjoyed the series at the library that I work at. Great trio of books!

... a wormhole (through no fault of her own); and colonises a new planet. It’s a light, pleasant read with a happy ending. Lirael follows Sabriel as the second book in Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom trilogy. It is just as well written, but is annoyingly unresolved at its close. (Annoying, at least, ...

My books today are Lirael from amazon, The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golems Eye and Ptolemy's gate 3 for 2 at WHSmiths

... I wouldn't recommend it as your only resource, you should certainly look further, but it sufficed in the interim. 80. Lirael by Garth Nix Lirael is really very interesting. It is a satisfying sequel to Sabriel, and that's not a common feeling for me to have when the sequel doesn't ...

... back. I got a few for my birthday - 39 Clues from my son, and the Garth Nix trilogy from a friend with Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. Then we went to Borders yesterday to get The Scarlet Pimpernel for my daughter to read for English and I just had to get Men at Arms and The ...

... and Physik the first 3 Septimus Heap books by Angie Sage and Sabriel, Abhorsen and Across the Wall by Garth Nix, no Lirael because they didn't have it, but it was 3 for 2. I would have gotten the Bartemius Trilogy too but they only had the third book. They are going in my catalogue ...

Lirael, by Garth Nix (the second book in the Abhorsen trilogy).

... I cannot wait to see what Superior Saturday has in store... 66F.) Abhorsen by Garth Nix A great sequel to Lirael. Lirael and Sameth continue to try to defeat an evil that is so malignant and powerful it can destroy all worlds; with the help of the Disreputable Dog and the Abhors ...

... have enjoyed these: The Spanish Bow - currently listening to this, and loving it The Terror Imperium Sabriel Lirael Abhorsen Cry To Heaven - a bit trashy, but Tim Curry's narration is fabulous Devil in the White City The Talisman Black House Jonathan Strange and Mr ...

18. Lirael Second, following Sabriel, in the Abhorsen trilogy. Also riveting!

James Tracy - The Civil Disobedience Handbook Honestly, this book was kind of lame. Garth Nix - Lirael This was a good follow-up to Sabriel. I look forward to the third book. Richard Labont - First Person Queer: Who We Are (So Far) This was a great anthology. I ...

37F.) Lirael by Garth Nix An excellent second book in the Abhorsen trilogy. I really enjoy the characters, and I am intrigued by the dark things that are stirring in the world of these stories. Possibly my favorite thing about this book was the fact that the main characters have failings. ...

... a bit tedious. I love love love these books and am desperately awaiting the next in the series! Off to dig into Lirael...

... Scalzi The Last Colony by John Scalzi The Android's Dream by John Scalzi Sabriel by Garth Nix Lirael: The Daughter of the Clayr by Garth Nix Abhorsen by Garth Nix Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The Lost Fleet: Dauntless by Jack Campbell The ...

The Librarian in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash In Garth Nyx's Lirael, the title character is an assistant librarian.

Jennifer Fallon is a fave of mine, and Garth Nix (who has been around for a while Sabriel lirael and Abhorsen are the 3 linked books of his that are excellent YA fantasy There are others that I am too tired to remember, but I agree, there is some good stuff coming out of Australia :) Whic ...

Decisions... Decisions... Current books I have from the library... Twilight by Meyers Lirael by Nix Silver on the Tree by Cooper I gulped down Archangel by Shinn yesterday afternoon.

... Sabriel. Currently reading...(or thinking about reading...) The Salmon of Doubt, The Year of Magical Thinking and Lirael -the next Garth Nix. Several other novels are calling to me, from BookMooch piles, the local (and fabulous) library system and HalfPrice Books sacks. Not to ...

... of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia McKillip. Also Ombria in Shadow The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix, comprised of Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany. I will probably have more to add when I'm a little more awake and coherent.

I always loved the YA fantasy book Lirael by Garth Nix because the heroine is a librarian, and it's described as a very dangerous and thrilling occupation.

... at this point (yes, my head is hanging), so I should probably read it, huh? I'm also stalled about halfway through Lirael, and eagerly awaiting the paperback release of the sequels to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. ..I way over-answered the question. I blame final papers. Yes. ...

The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix Sabriel Lirael The Abhorsen These are what I would classify as dark fantasy.

Only 50 more pages to go of Lirael and am absolutely loving it!

>9 The other two books in the series, Lirael and Abhorsen weren't bad, but I thought Sabriel was definitely the best. Other recommendations (mostly my favorites from when I was in middle-school-ish) that haven't been touched yet: - A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Ti ...

I have a few books lined up before I get to mine but I just pulled out my paperback copy of Lirael and it has over 700 pages, soooo it may be a while before I'm heard from again!

Hmm... I'd like to know what you think of Lirael. I read the first book of the series awhile ago, but never got around to finishing the rest of the series. For me, I don't have all that many books cataloged yet, but feel free to choose any fictional work, read or unread.

Amusement from the UnSuggester for Elmer Gantry: - Lirael, daughter of the Clayr by Garth Nix (expected 20.2, found 0) - Abhorsen by Garth Nix (expected 18.5, found 0) - Lady of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (expected 11.5, found 0) - The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud (expecte ...

I've got to second Hermione's bottomless purse. Although I also kind of like the mechanical "go for help" mouse from Lirael. But I don't think I'd ever actually need that one. The bottomless purse would be handy all the time.

At bedtime I alternate between Jim Dale reading me Harry Potter and Tim Curry reading me Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen. I wouldn't have gotten through the wait between HP Books without the Charter Mages! Plus His Dark Materials.

I enjoyed reading Garth Nix's Lirael...and the rest of that series, of course. I LOVE that library that she works in...wish mine were as interesting and exciting, but it's just a regular public library, unfortunately. ; ) I had forgotten all about the Sword of Maiden's Tears by Edghill, though. ...

How about Garth Nix's necromancy in the Abhorsen Trilogy Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen? He presents necromancy from the point-of-view of the practitioner who is trying to preserve the natural states of life and death. He uses different sized bells, the ringing of which, has different effects. ...

... Nix; Very strong main character, a necromancer who battles evil in a non-ciche way. Beautiful sound to name. Lirael -Lirael and Abhorsen by Garth Nix; A shy librarian who becomes a necromancer, in a good way. Name sounds "lyrical", doesn't it? Sanar, Ryelle are also names from the G ...

In Garth Nix's Lirael, the main character, Lirael of course, is a librarian for a while. I love that library; it is rather dangerous!

Lirael by Garth Nix is a young adult sci-fi/fantasy book which features a fantastic library. The librarians have to wear special swords to protect themselves from some of the more interestings things to be found there and there are what are called "sendings" -sort of magical robots thingies to do ...

I know you are finished but I can't resist mentioning Lirael by Garth Nix with The Disreputable Dog-my favourite character in the whole trilogy.

... Haddon To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle Lirael by Garth Nix (stars the Disreputable Dog) Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome

... books. Nathaniel Bartimaeus trilogy He'd be so much fun to tease. Girls: Shep (Nyle) Phoenix Rising Lirael Lirael She's an awesome magical heroine, and she's a shy quiet librarian. Leaf The Keys to the Kingdom

... I second the recommendation for Diana Wynne Jones and add three superb Australian writers: Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen), Trudi Canavan (The Magician's Guild et al, The Priestess of the White et al) and Alison Croggon (The Gift, The Riddle, The Crow ...

... Madding Crowd, Abhorsen, The Monk, something by Milton, and some book of drama theory. Monday I bought, new, Lirael, "Witches" and "Werewolves" by Nigel Suckling, and Jingo. Yesterday I bought an illuminated King James family Bible. I have no self-control.

... that her fantasy has science fiction underpinnings. Garth Nix would be another great success in the YA category with Lirael, Sabriel and so on. Isabelle Carmody seemed to have to be moderately successful over here in the US, also in the YA category.

That is a really tough call... I think the Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen) would have to be at the top of my list. The world building was really good and I enjoyed the characters, the settings... everything. It has left me wanting more stories set in this world. The Stand ...

... I read Sabriel, which I had borrowed from the library. I enjoyed it so much I bought it, and the rest of the trilogy, Lirael and Abhorsen, as a gift for my daughter. I haven't gotten back to the other two yet. But they are on my TBR list. :o)

Well, (to respond to myself), my favorite fantasy series is the Abhorsen triology by Garth Nix: Sabriel Lirael Abhorsen
