I didn't try DWJ until fairly recently, so my silence was simply because I hadn't gotten around to it yet. But one of my new year's resolutions was to do more reading, and I've gotten back into the habit of reading before bed every night, which has been good in lots of ways. My first DWJ book was "Howl's Moving Castle." I've really gotten hooked by the Chrestomanci series, though! It also amuses me to realize that it was written way before Harry Potter. Where are the Chrestomanci movies? Why isn't this a blockbuster franchise?

Let me know if you think I should read "Deep Secret" next. I mean, it has an SFF convention in it, with mustering hobbits! Or are there other DWJ-for-adults books that you would recommend? (Besides "Tough Guide," which is still on my list?)

Thanks for the positive comments about my last post. It was really a case of having a lot of thoughts and feelings that I had to do something with, and writing them out and posting them on the internet was what I needed to do to get closure.
