I'm sad to hear this event is coming to an end, you've been a lovely host and it's always been fantastic to see posts on DWJ in the spring of every year.<br /><br />(this is Jenny @ Reading the End, by the way!

I even had a Howl-themed birthday cake. ^_^<br /><br />Wee Free Men, Derkholm, and the Dalemark books are all amazing! I love them so much. I can totally understand wanting to wait on Crown of Dalemark. I hope you'll enjoy it next year!

I also enjoyed discovering the tales for younger readers, Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Earwig and the Witch. I think you made a wise choice to delay reading The Crown of Dalemark.
