I'm hoping to discover some of her treasures at some upcoming book fairs and this is one that I will definitely be keeping my eye out for!Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-29741691162811930762012-03-27T21:06:52.853-07:002012-03-27T21:06:52.853-07:00Jenners - And it's actually how the glass wind...Jenners - And it's actually how the glass window is described in the book -- a rarity in book covers these days!<br /><br />Amanda - I read a decent amount of children's lit but none of it excites me the way that DWJ books do. I'm a bit sad that I'll be expected to read something else after the month is over. :)<br /><br />Jenny - I can't say why I think it's more accessible than Howl but I do think it is. It would probably be a close second though! And I think I was just reading The Game and there was a garden shed place with a glass window in it too! They simply walked in and past it but I thought it was fun that she had it in there. Sigh. She's such an awesome author.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-62995820684947297412012-03-24T15:52:41.461-07:002012-03-24T15:52:41.461-07:00I'm interested that this is the one DWJ book y...I'm interested that this is the one DWJ book you'd recommend this way. I haven't read Enchanted Glass enough times yet for it to have settled into the DWJ canon for me, so maybe this will change, but I always recommend Howl's Moving Castle. It's fun, accessible, and charming, and although it does have sequels in a way, the story in HMC is self-contained.<br /><br />I do love the way she uses the glass in this one though! Like she had been saving it up from underusing it in Deep Secret and finally managed to deal with it the way she wanted to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-38191915899982767402012-03-23T17:31:22.686-07:002012-03-23T17:31:22.686-07:00Okay, I finally had a chance to sit down and read ...Okay, I finally had a chance to sit down and read this review! I've been keeping it saved until I really had some time. I've got this one on audio - the only DWJ audio at my library outside the Howl series - and cant' wait to get to it! I rarely get excited about children's lit these days, ever since my own kids got to that age group (which makes me want to get away a bit), but this one sounds fab!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-5202807183258364422012-03-22T17:38:44.565-07:002012-03-22T17:38:44.565-07:00You're right .. the UK cover is GORGEOUS!You're right .. the UK cover is GORGEOUS!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.com
