29. Mirror Mirror: A Novel by Gregory Maguire: Interesting. It could have used more filler for the plot. It seemed rather thin to me, but it was haunting. I like that it mixed elements of historical fiction with the inclusion of the Borgia family.

30. The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Mike Dringenberg, and Michael Zulli: This was an interesting collection. Morpheus tracks down rogue dreams and deals with a dream vortex.

31. The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country by Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Colleen Doran, and Kelley Jones: This has 4 unrelated stories. I like the ones about Calliope and Shakespeare.

32. The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman, Kelley Jones, Mike Dringenberg, and P. Craig Russell: Although I didn't like the illustrations as much in this volume, I really liked the storyline. It was probably my favorite so far. Lucifer gives up Hell and well, all hell breaks loose.

33. Fables Vol. 9: Sons of Empire by Bill Willingham and James Jean: Damn! I've been waiting months for this and it was just as good as I was hoping. More continuation about the struggles between the Fabletown and the Advisary.

34. How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, and More!!! by Neil Zawacki and James Dignan: A hilarious jokey book that a friend got me. It was fun and hilarious.

35. Ghost World by Daniel Clowes: Although I liked it way better than the movie, I just didn't get that into it.

I have this problem where I loved Wicked so very very much that none of Maguire's other books stand a chance with me, no matter how much I try with them. Mirror, Mirror is the best of his other books, though.

I agree!

I've read a couple others too and I totally agree with you.
