Deep Secret
Deep Secret | Diana Wynne Jones
Rupert Venables is a Magid. It's a Magid's job to oversee what goes on in the vast Multiverse. Actually, Rupert is really only a junior Magid. But he's got a king-sized problem. Rupert's territory includes Earth and the Empire of Korfyros. When his mentor dies Rupert must find a replacement. But there are hundreds of candidates. How is he supposed to choose? And interviewing each one could take forever. Unless... What if he could round them all up in one place? Simple!

It‘s my policy to buy any DWJ book that is new to me… imagine my surprise when I found two copies of the same book on my bookshelf 😜 they give off such different vibes that it didn‘t at all register as a book I already had (I‘ve since read it)

Here are some fantasy possibilities for #LMPBC!! Deep Secret and Shadows would actually be rereads for me but it has been years since I read them and they have both been on my "need to reread" list forever!! The others are random ones from my TBR. I can also come up with more if none of these appeal!!

HOTPock3tt Wow can I pick them all? 😃 seriously I think I would be happy with any of these! Mostly leaning towards Navigating the stars, illusions of fate and in other lands… but I can‘t choose between those 3 🤣🤣🤣 (edited) 3y
Chrissyreadit I agree I would read any of them…but…. Navigating The Stars is on my TBR and Robin McKinley is one of my favorite authors bringing those just slightly to the top 3y
HOTPock3tt I think navigating the stars is my 1st choice.. but I‘m sure I‘ll be adding a few of these to my tbr (edited) 3y
Laughterhp I haven‘t read any of these and they all sound good! My top choices would be Shadows and In Other Lands. But I‘m a open to reading any! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @HOTPock3tt @Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp - I think I'm going to go with Navigating the Stars, but keep Shadows (which I already own) as my backup. My only concern with NTS is that it's the first in a series, so if I read it and it feels cliffhanger-y I'll do Shadows, which is a standalone lol 3y

Two wrenching deaths in Chapter One alone and I'm weeping. Thanks a bunch, Jones.

I‘ve had this book on my shelf for a long time, reluctant to read it because it would bring me closer to having read all of DWJ books. So it might be partially my high expectations or the fact that large parts of this book occur on Earth and that fax machines get mentioned a lot... but it took me ages to get hooked - but I got there!

TheAromaofBooks This one has a loose sequel - The Merlin Conspiracy - that I remember liking even more than this one. 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @TheAromaofBooks, I‘ve got that one on my shelf as well... 4y

Flick, flick, flick!

Heh. I was in a mood for a comfort read, and this old favorite has fit the bill perfectly.

Today's prompt makes me realize that most of the #somethingmagical books I've read and loved, I checked out from the library ... but, Diana Wynne Jones wrote quite a few of them! (Good thing I found this at the book sale this weekend.) #riotgrams

For #17booklove, here are my DWJ books showcasing an author I love. I own more books by her than anyone else. Not pictured: the other two Dalemark books because they wouldn't fit and Howl's Moving Castle because my daughter has it in her room.

Chachic There are so many Litsy/Instagram memes for this month, I don't even know which one to follow! 7y
brandymuses I'm kind of following three but won't do all every day. I'll just do the topics I like. 7y
Chachic Oh hey, I missed seeing your reply because I wasn't tagged. Yeah, I won't do everyday either. Just the ones I like and have something I can use. 7y
