Thanks for your kind words about Ji...Hi Evangeline! Thanks for your kind words about Jinx and Jinx's Magic. I'm so glad to hear you liked the second as much as the first. <br /><br />You must have read an an enormous number of books to have read over half of my fairly-obscure list. Till We Have Faces is a very favorite book that I reread every year or two, as are a few others on the list-- including #21 and #78. I liked The Thief particularly for the twist that I did not see coming at all.<br /><br />I haven't read either of the books you mentioned but I'm going to look for them right now, as you clearly have excellent taste in books :-).<br /><br />You can contact me via the form on my website... I haven't been able to work out how to do it on blogger, nor how to link blogger to my website, but the site is www.sageblackwood.com.<br /><br />/am off to look for those two books nowSage Blackwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847897945969895906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599232818232762204.post-67166878619784730022014-03-27T15:47:12.569-07:002014-03-27T15:47:12.569-07:00(also as an actual comment on this post)
I've ...(also as an actual comment on this post)<br />I've read over 50 of these and loved nearly all of them - you even have The Thief (which I loved and hardly anyone I know has read) and Till We Have Faces (which is by my favourite author of all time and a fantastic retelling of a classic story). Have you ever heard of Enemy Brothers by Constance Savery? It's probably one of my top five favourite books (Eagle of the Ninth is also up there), and of the books on your list, it's probably comparable to The Winged Watchman and To Kill A Mockingbird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599232818232762204.post-23705105806046346752014-03-27T15:39:52.325-07:002014-03-27T15:39:52.325-07:00((I tried to send this as an email but it wouldn&#...((I tried to send this as an email but it wouldn't let me - so I thought I'd try sending it as a comment and see if that would work!))<br /><br />Hello! A good while ago I read Jinx, and a week or so ago I was shelving books at work (I work at our local library) and found we'd finally purchased Jinx's Magic! Needless to say, I was delighted and checked it out at once. I wouldn't have thought it possible to enjoy any of your books more than I enjoyed Jinx, but Jinx's Magic somehow did the impossible! The humor was always right on, the story was engaging, and the characters were realistic and made me wish they were my friends. Thank you for writing such good books; can't wait for the next one!<br />Sincerely, Evangeline ShererAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
