I just finished Howl's Moving Castle and I have a big stupid grin on my face that won't go away

♥SOPHIE♥

♥HOWL♥

♥CALCIFER♥

♥MICHAEL♥


Oh you guys, why can't this book've gone on forever? Seriously. I just. Sophie and Howl! And Calcifer! And Michael! And and and LOOK I AM MAYBE CRYING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S OVER AND THERE'S NOT ANY MORE SO FORGIVE ME IF I CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL IT WAS.

Apparently, there's a sequel to the book. In it, a pregnant Sophie (knocked up by Howl of course) gets turned into a cat.

I know I know I know! It's just one of those books that seriously needs to go on forever. I was so happy that there was a sequel and so disappointed when it just wasn't right.

Hee, I'm really glad you had the chance to read it!

Sadly, the sequel is nowhere near as good and left me all :< at the lost chances for greatness. I WOULD RECOMMEND JUST READING THE ORIGINAL AGAIN, BECAUSE IT IS FULL OF AWESOME WITH NO CAVEATS. ♥

Also, rock on with your current music. Mirrormask was a crazy-ass movie. I was going to review it, but it was too crazy-ass. Although, +1 for eyeballspider.

...You are not talking about the Alan Ginsberg poem.

Though it's not all about Howl and Sophie, give Castle in the Air a read. Also, House of Many Ways was released in 2008. I've not read it yet, but it's set in the same world the previous two.
