Great selection of books there, Becky!
I requested a bunch of Diana Wynne Jones books from the library earlier after hearing that she had passed. I Shall Wear Moonlight was another fun book!
That looks like an awesome list. I haven't read any Diana Wynne Jones. I'm working on the 1st Rick Riordan series right now. A Tale Dark & Grimm sounds really good. May have to add that to the list.
I have not heard of a few of those. Thanks :)
