Speaking of postcards - you haven't by any chance gotten anything from Japan lately? Because I sort of sent something your way before I mailed my handmade meme to villainny, and she got hers a couple of days ago, and I worry. If it's lost I will be sad - but I'll also need to send a replacement, I think!
Books! I was just talking about the Dresden Files with friendshipper, so - if you haven't read those, they would be my recommendation!
Urban fantasy, up to 10 volumes now (#11 coming in April!), and they are marvels of world- and character building. ♥ Funny and action-packed, about a modern day wizard - Harry! - in Chicago. As the series progresses, Harry gets all sorts of wonderful friends and partners and acquaintances and family and pets of all stripes. He starts out as a lone wolf, which I'm often kind of meh about, but he does have an ally and friend in the female cop Murphy. And then he meets other people, or they show up from his past, and it's quite, quite sweet and lovely and always a fun ride!
The first one is called "Storm Front", and they are in order on the author's page. (He also does vignettes and side novellas about the characters, which are mostly just an excuse to write friendship-laden snippets of adorable, if you ask me. ♥)
So~. I probably have more stuff I can recommend, and you might have read these already, but - hopefully that's of some help? ♥
(PS - if you like James Marsters, several volumes of The Dresden Files have been read by him. To which I can just say yes please, and I wish I had copies of the audiobooks around, but I don't...)
