pickJones' books can be so gleefully madcap. I love how every single character has separate agency, and her descriptions of big noisy happy families are a relevation. Still, this particular one is a tangle of multiple vast plotline ideas and settings that I would have loved to see explanded, a series and not a novel. Beloved, but flawed. High pick.
Right side of my #readingbucketlist #journal pages Diana Wynne Jones, with each #series separated out and listed in order, and her #nonfiction in the bottom right. I love lists. #Chrestomanci (cut off at the bottom: independent novel Vile Visitors) #tbr #dianawynnejones #dalemark #magids #derkholm #howlsmovingcastle
From my IG: Diana Wynne Jones reading #bucketlist. Since an old-fashioned matchbook is a plot point in Charmed Life, the first novel in the Chronicles of Chrestomanci, I illustrated that #bookseries with same. I had fun creating smoked cardboard using a light touch on my eraser. 📚Series: #chrestomanci, #howlsmovingcastle, #magids, #derkholm, #dalemark.
