I just wonder if kids are still discovering DWJ on their own. Sadly, her books seem to come in and out of print so you don't always see them at bookstores. Luckily, libraries seem to stock most of them (though the covers may be old and less appealing).<br />And it's nice to meet you! I'm off to visit your blog. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-40151177818787607282013-03-04T09:01:05.867-08:002013-03-04T09:01:05.867-08:00Sounds like fun!

I've only read a few (Howl, one of the early Chrestomanci books, and Enchanted Glass) but I've found them charming and whimsical, and plan to read more. <br /><br />I've started following your blog, not only to keep up with your DWJ month but because you, like me, read and review a range of books and genres - and we have several tastes in common.

I just finished reading Changeover and am trying to figure out what to say about a book that, like, nobody else can ever read because that's how out of print it is. :p And I'm definitely putting a post up about Howl's Moving Castle because I love it so much, but I have to reread it first. Aw Howl. I love it the best when he's so angry about his family.
