I'm still trying to get round to rereading and reviewing the earlier titles she wrote, but it's slow going; hope to tackle <i>Time of the Ghost</i> next month for a Wyrd & Wonder May read. But, like many, I'm feeling a bit listless as lockdown continues and our beloved UK government dithers and lies its way to an uncertain future.

Honestly, I haven't reread any of the books of hers I don't love since she died, because I know I'm going to eventually fall in love with all of them and then I will never have any new DWJ experiences ever again. It's this weird superstition thing. :P<br /><br />Happy 17th to your kid!! For my part I'm doing well, apart from being terribly worried about my vulnerable family members.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-18259809250576348542020-04-07T11:00:27.777-07:002020-04-07T11:00:27.777-07:00I need to read it again, it's been a while.

However, I think a reread is coming on before too long.Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-26610086347156211762020-04-07T08:39:45.020-07:002020-04-07T08:39:45.020-07:00Oh, interesting!

I found Crown of Dalemark a letdown after that one ... after the long hiatus it did not go in a good direction, I felt. <br /><br />Good luck with your article backlog.
