I really wanted to tell everyone I work with, as well as every single person who came into the library, to March forth. Oh, well. Next year.

I haven’t read Archer’s Goon yet! I will have to. Soon.

The one I own but haven’t read is the story collection Unexpected Magic and I haven’t read The Tough Guide to Fantasyland from start to finish yet. I started the first Dalemark book once but the timing wasn’t good for me so I still need to read that series. Deep Secret and The Merlin Conspiracy. Hexwood. The Ogre Downstairs. Wild Robert. A Sudden Wild Magic. And this one. 🙂 Still quite a few but it doesn’t seem like enough!

I think she had her best run in the early-to-mid 1980s. That’s when she wrote all the ones I love the best (with the exception of The Year of the Griffin, because I love school books).

Dogsbody is one that it took me years to love! I reread it at least three times before it and I became friends.

It’s a good read aloud book! I read a lot of DWJ books out loud to my little sister over the years, and I remember thinking that Archer’s Goon was a fantastic book for reading aloud.

(Actually, part of the reason I love DWJ so much is that I read most of her books out loud to Social Sister at some point.)

Hahahhahaha. I usually do say it! MARCH FORTH. I’m sad I missed it.

Whoaaaa. A Nook, really? Did you try out Mumsy’s and just find it to be irresistibly amazing?
