Book Hoppers
- Description
- Name stolen from the idea in Jasper Fforde's novels - books where main characters 'hop' into works of fiction or where literary characters go a-wandering into books not their own! Feel free to thumb up those you've particularly enjoyed.

- Caramellunacy: Fforde's entire series is premised on Book Hopping and similar literary geekiness (I particularly like the Rocky Horror Richard III and grammasites). This one particularly involves Jane Eyre.

- Caramellunacy: Bertie lives in an enchanted theater that essentially lets her hop into all kinds of plays/stories and hang out with their characters. Most notably A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Tempest, and Peter Pan.

- Caramellunacy: The main character (oddly) encounters Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy while she's on an Austen-inspired bus tour of England. He's kind of a jerk. It's also a bit of a contemporary re-telling of P&P at the same time and it sometimes seems to be insulting its target audience...

- Caramellunacy: Sherlock's secret (and similarly observant) love child teams up with one of his Irregulars (my much beloved Cartwright) to solve a mystery involving purloined letters, blackmail and skullduggery. (We also get a brief cameo from Toby the dog.)
