Jasper Fforde

And then last week I didn't talk about it.

[laughs] But so I've actually finished that and the next book in the series, Something Rotten, uh, the Tuesday, Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, or maybe Fourth, 'cause he's Welsh.

Um, and, and again, they're, they're just delightful.

The Well of Lost Souls, Thursday Next has decided she needs to hide out.

The vibes, basically.

Right, the magical bookish vibes, but the most frequent comparison I saw in the material is to Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series.

Yes, the comparison to Jasper Fforde is absolutely everywhere in the reviews, and it makes sense.

Both series feature protagonists who can literally enter books.

Both involve policing the integrity of classic texts, and both blend mystery with a lot of literary satire.
