Description Just finished reading Conrad's Fate, one of Diana Wynne Jones's many, many wonderful books. (I'm telling you, they're REALLY GOOD. I have more than 20 of 'em, and that's not nearly enough.)

Yay, thanks! Haha, well, Miyazaki did Howl's Moving Castle- not the most accurate adaptation, but still an amazing movie.

oh, well, any adaption can be considered good if it is done well. Really, I don't mind different adaptations; if it works for the artist, then it will certainly be done well.

And I love that movie anyway.

Yay! Yeah, I really like it, too. Some of the changes bother me, but it's one of my favorite movies.

So good to find other Diana fans here. I'm Brazilian so I'm constantly suffering to buy her books since they never got translated they have to be bought from Amazon and take moonths (and loads of money) to arrive at my place. I recently bought Pinhoe's Egg and A Tale of Time City and still waiting on them to arrive u_u~!
I found a veeeery old used edition of Fire and Hemlock out of luck on a bookstore and bought it. But they are sooo hard to find. I only have HMC,CitA, Fire and Hemlock and the Chrestomanci series. She's my favourite author though. Keep on with the great fan arts. I'm a fan of yours

Yay! XD That sucks that it takes so long (and so much money) for you to get her books, though. I love A Tale of Time City! I've actually got over twenty of her books, but I don't have the Pinhoe Egg yet, haha. And thank you so much! XD

Eee, Conrad!
Conrad's Fate is most definitely my favorite Chrestomanci book.

Ooh yay, DWJ fanart I think I need to reread Conrad's Fate. I quite enjoyed it, particularly the insight into Christopher and Millie's teenage years.

There's most definitely not enough of it around. ^_^
I'd completely forgotten about Chrestomanci by the time I read Conrad's Fate...took me sooo long to go "OMG, CHRISTOPHER!?"

However could you forget Christopher?

cesca-specs In reply to alidaART [2007-08-15 05:06:25 +0000 UTC]

HAHA... by confusing him with Cat, I suppose. Which begs the question: However could you confuse him with CAT?!

Loved this book. The bit with the shape shifting tower-thingy-ma-bobber? Awesome. I like this picture- but I almost missed Millie But she looks happy, so that's all right...

The movie or the manga? I haven't seen either, but the concept is super-intriguing. o_o

SpunkyNinja In reply to cesca-specs [2007-05-22 01:04:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh the manga. And yes it has a very very intriguing concept. I love it so much I've seen the movie, collected the manga, and read the novel.

xD zOMG I just went to the library to borrow Howl's Moving Castle since the book is different from the movie. Coincidence? o_O;;;

Spookyyyyyy.
Have you started it yet? Do you love it? Huh? Huh?
The movie is pretty different, but Howl himself is much the same. (drooool)

NariSon In reply to cesca-specs [2007-04-16 01:40:43 +0000 UTC]

xDD Yep, I'm at the part where Sophie first goes inside the castle and talks to Calcifer. I think I'll just keep on imagining him as a cute little Miyazaki fire demon ^^
