The Familiar, Volume 3: Honeysuckle & Pain | 
"Do we miss not only the past but every future the lost past describes? Is that just the nature of missing? All the lost might-have-beens? The certainty that those uncertain futures are gone?
If we can't embrace uncertainty do we miss the point of love?"
A difficult choice, but I think my #FavoriteBookCoverOf2017 is The Familiar volume 3: Honeysuckle & Pain. It‘s not your typical cover, for one thing, and for another, if you look at it from a distance, you see flowers, but they‘re actually cats. 😸

I got goosebumps while first reading The Familiar Vol.3 Honeysuckle & Pain as the story was so exciting.
If you get the chance read this series!

A reader's dilemma: how to read all the books? Hopefully I'm not the only one in here that van relate to this?
When you read and the word from the challenge a few days back, shows up. #mischief #QuotsyNov17
pickStill my favorite volume so far. Can‘t wait till 10/31 to see if Volume 5 can top it.
It's my Friday. Time to catch up on some reading.
What too many rabbis, clerics, and bloggers possess. Özgür isn't sure he can take that kind of conviction anymore: when people fail to see how the world so numerously contradicts their fantasy, that just the idea of themselves carrying on such a cause becomes the most absurd fantasy of all.
pickThe story continues right where volume 2 stopped. If you liked the previous volumes this is a sure read.

pickA mellower, more atmospheric entry to the series; more arranging for things to come rather than any immediate payoff (though certain surprises do come to light). Was surprised and a little bummed out to see we wouldn't be getting another volume before year's end. Definitely big things ahead for this project.
A lot of smaller conquests, lately. Now, time to get back to one of the big ones.
Spirals tightening, spirals widening.
Slowly the plot lines spiral towards each other like asteroids approaching a once in a lifetime convergence.
pickThis is definitely my favourite of the series so far. Things are finally starting to come together a bit more...sort of. Crazy, unique, bizarre and fun. If you're a fan of his House of Leaves you should definitely embark on this journey, which is supposed to be 27 volumes in length. I'm looking forward to Vol. 4.
Continuing on with this wonderfully unique series.
pickReviewed Vols. 1 & 2 on Wikia. Very helpful in order to pick up with volume 3. I like how the stories are starting to coalesce, with still plenty of mystery left. Another great one from MZD. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5!
Ok, I need volume 4 now! Just finished 3 and will be suffering serious withdrawals while I contemplate the next events in every character's story! I seriously can not wait!
I can not get over the young girl who questions everything, the gangster who is violent, yet smart, the parents who are concerned yet loving, the silent man in Mexico or the paranoid wizard with an orb, or addict. Each character has now be ingrained in my mind and I don't want to wait for TFv4

Had a chance to met Danielewski in Texas, on his Familiar 3 book tour, and it was the best thing to happen this summer. Now, I am actually reading Familiar 3 and loving every bit of it, will be dying until 4 comes out
pickOphelia hopped onto the Mark Z. Danielewski and quickly devoured the third volume of this epic adventure. There are really no words to describe this cat that cannot be named. And Xanther is probably one of Ophelia's favorite characters that she has ever read. She can't wait to continue.
"All of which quiets when she ascends, her mom and Taymor just smiling, with the attack poodle nearby in the shade, panting, all of them just waiting for Xanther's next trip down so they can start whispering again."
