Alas my dream never came true, although every time there is post I secretly pray there is a piece of parchment sent to me by the wizarding school, apologising for it being late (11 years late!) that there was a clerical error made by one of the owls but if I would accept they would love to have me at Hogwarts.
Naturally, I would not say yes the first time...I do love being chased!

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls in Books

Sedaris has an uncanny way of making the every day boring stuff sound hilarious because of the way he interprets it in his mind and because of the way he says things the people. You know how stuff sounds better in your head, but you say it anyway and then people look at you like you have a third eye and webbed feet? That’s half of his humor. I love it.
I recommend Diabetes with Owls to any Sedaris fan, new or old. If you’ve never listened to him before, I recommend Live for your Listening Pleasure to get an overview of his best.

I like Damian as a character. His relationship with his father gets fleshed out throughout this series, with both of their doubts and fears about each other fully realized and explored. This book covers how Damian was raised by Talia al Ghul and has him in a Court of Owls tie-in story. There's a 3 part arc with villain Terminus that deals with sibling rivalry among the Robins. It ends with a 2 parter that seems like a relapse for Damian. The beauty is that these individual stories contain a subtle story arc amongst them...one which culminates in a touching moment at the end.
