Black Maria | Diana Wynne Jones

B is for Black Maria

I was super excited to come across this at a rare book fair earlier this year but that excitement has not yet translated to me actually reading this book... I think I‘m reluctant to read DWJ books that I haven‘t already experienced because I don‘t want to not have the possibility of a new story, idk 😐

I think I forgot to share my excitement about finding a 1st edition DWJ at the Melbourne Rare Book Fair for a song (well, maybe a couple of songs 😅🤩) it‘s signed and everything!

*flails with DWJ feelings* has anyone read this one?! Prior to finding it... I hadn‘t actually heard of it 🤪

Bklover Haven‘t heard of it but it looks fun! Great feeling when you find a treasure, isn‘t it?!👏👏 5y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bklover, oh yes! Absolutely brilliant ☺️ I think I would have passed out if it‘d been my all time favourite Fire & Hemlock or Howl‘s Moving Castle 🤩 you never know what you‘ll find at book fares! 5y

IndyHannaJones I have not heard of it but it looks brilliant 5y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @IndyHannaJones, I had a quick look at its goodreads entry but it was pretty much a done deal 😂 5y

quirkyreader Lucky you. 5y

My phone camera just about died on me so I'm stuck using the selfie side, unfortunately. Weird that they have to put a "hotter than potter" sticker on a book published before Harry Potter!
