Some days my decision to wait until there‘s enough DWJ books to buy that I can qualify for free shipping weighs more heavily than others (I already have the complete Moving Castle trilogy)

pickContinuing my reread of this series with this book that I don‘t remember at all (other than that I didn‘t like it as a teen). It‘s a pretty quirky story packed full of Romeo and Juliet nods, cats, and an interesting sung magic system. This hardly has anything to do with Chrestomanci compared to the books collected in the first volume. #magic #cats #MultipleWorlds
pickFinished the second book of the series. Even though in the beginning I was quite disappointed it was a completely different story line, I really liked the Romeo & Juliet like story, which is of course set in Italy. 😀
Summer break just started - more time to read 🙌🙌🙌
pickAnother cute entry in the Chrestomanci Series. This one features magicians in Chrestomanci's world but in Italy rather than England. I liked seeing a different magic system where the users sing their spells rather than just incant or gesture. I think the best part though was the cats.
Starting my day off right with some Chrestomanci and Sierra. #CatsOfLitsy
"I shall have hysterics," declared Aunt Gina. "And no one will get any supper." ---- made me actually lol. Something so true about the feminine condition here - how the worst threat she can make is that she won't be able to cook dinner.
I am currently reading a different title by DWJ so I have her on the brain - perfect timing to dig this Chrestomanci title out for #signedsundays 😁
Children's fantasy from the '80s: more hardcore?
German edition. Full-on front and back cover tomato & egg fight. Even the cats are in on it. 😂😂😂😂

pickA boy, a girl, and a cat. Rival Italian spell-making families. This is no Romeo & Juliet + cat - it's an alternate world of Chrestomanci that is having some magical difficulties that Tonino's special magical talent and a cat can possibly remedy. Great fun if you like DWJ, humorous fantasy, and cats!
