#34 -- Good point! It seems like all Hogwarts property should be magically protected. I'm remembering another book (Charmed Life) where items taken from the house start shouting "I belong to Chrestomanci Castle! ... I'd probably end up wanting to punch Master Li, but it would be interesting.
Millie Chant (Chrestomanci's wife) from Charmed Life, etc. She's a lot more formidable than people expect from looking at her, but she is kind and has a knack for making people feel at home and comfortable.
Ru ... I'm reading a lot of Diana Wynne Jones.

There are certainly others that might fit there - the other Enchanted Forest books, for instance, and The Lives of Christopher Chant ... Touchstones still seem to be acting up, shockingly enough. Hopefully they'll work here:

Honestly, this was pretty mediocre. I read Howl's Moving Castle a while back, after a number of my friends gave it rave reviews, and found it to be a ... ... done

I'm not sure which would be considered the 'first' book - maybe The Lives of Christopher Chant? I also love Charmed Life, The Pinhoe Egg, and Conrad's Fate.
Books by Nick Bantock:
- Griffin and Sabine trilogy
Technically there are five books, but I like the first ... ... *The Pinhoe Egg by Diana Wynne Jones (480)
Loved it, absolutely loved it. I love the old Chrestomanci books like Charmed Life and The Lives of Christopher Chant but the latest ones are, if possible, even better. This one starts out just a little bit slow with some necessary build-up, ... I finished Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones earlier today. I really disliked it at first, but it grew on me. I think I'll probably look for the rest of the series.
Now I'm about to start Master & Commander by Patrick O'Brian. I've been looking forward to it; here's hoping it's as ... I polished off Second Nature and have started in on Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones. A friend recommended it, but so far I really don't like it. It's quite mean. ...

70. Sarah Bishop by Scott O'Dell (230 pages)
... bad, just not interesting to me. Love The Hobbit, like LOTR, but I'd rather read Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci stories (Charmed Life, The Lives of Christopher Chant) if I want children-learning-magic and anything by Enid Blyton or Rudyard Kipling's Stalky and Co. if I want ... ...

53. Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones (218)
I really wanted to read The Lives of Christopher Chant, but I must have left that at my parents' house. I like this one ... ... LibraryThing recommended it, probably because I live Eva Ibbotson, and I enjoyed it very much. I'm now listening to A Charmed Life.
If I enjoy all (or even some) LT recommendations as much, I'll be very happy. Have other people had good luck with recommendations? Chrestomanci: The Lives of Christopher Chant, Conrad's Fate, Charmed Life, The Magicians of Caprona, Witch Week, The Pinhoe Egg is the series chronological order. (Real world publishing order is different; if you read Charmed Life first you'll experience a strange time-shift later in ... Yet another 'out of sequence' series - the Chrestomanci books by Diana Wynne Jones.
Charmed Life was published long before The Lives of Christopher Chant but clearly comes at least 20 years after, in internal chronology (Christopher, the boy lead of the latter is an adult in the former, ...
