*distraught* nobody told me that of diana wynne jones's prolific output only five were chrestomanci books and fool that i am i have gone and read them all in anticipation of getting through more. *wring hands* and mixed magics was short stories, so that doesn't really count, although the sage of dissolution was wonderfully hilarious. su-lin says she was in exactly the same state when she found there were no more chrestomancis, and says i'll just have to read them all over again. sengkang has the chronicles of chrestomanci in two volumes i should go get it out again. i like charmed life best, i think, and witch week.
