lost time, the making up of

so far, it seems i've been filling my summer up with DWJ books i hadn't read when i was younger. (which isn't to say that what i read when i was younger was a waste of time, but i'm still rather amazed i completely missed out on DWJ when i was younger. and had more time to read. ah, for those glorious days of taking out 20+ books at once from my local library...^^;;;)

anyrate, here's what i've read recently:

Castle in the Air
Deep Secret
A Sudden Wild Magic
The Dark Lord of Derkholm

and i've just now started off the Dalemark Quartet with Cart and Cwidder (which i note that Meril has also read recently ^^). previous to that, i'd only read Howl's Moving Castle and A Tale of Time City.

suggestions as to what to read next, after i finish off the Dalemark Quartet?

I'm not as big on the Chrestomanci series as Fi is. >D The first book, starring Cat, is enjoyable. After that, though, the stories weren't as interesting, and the tone felt too... distinctly young for my taste.

My DWJ-obsessed friend Ingrid adores Hexwood to pieces. A lot of it went over my head because I'm not all that familiar with Arthurian legend, but it was another one of her Unexpected-Bit-After-Unexpected-Bit books that I love. :3

YOU MUST READ THE CHRESTOMANCI SERIES RIGHT NOW. Stop everything else you're doing, read this series. Really.

Also, Dogsbody made me cry when I was nine. It still makes me cry now.

Here is the list of all. This is the third time I had to enter in this comment. The internet hates me.

Would recommend reading the Chrestomanci stuff totally. And well everything

janni likes to cook and bake. a lot. but mostly? she likes to sharpen her knives. because a dull knife is a dangerous knife, and we simply can't have that...

about this layout:
this is acid reflux v. 5.0 of Headphones Save Lives. featuring the ebullient Emperor Chairman Kaga from the fine Fuji TV show Ryori no Tetsujin and seen in the US on the Food Network as Iron Chef. revel in his mastery of bell peppers!
