Sixer: What was your first DWJ?
Bevity: Howl's Moving Castle . . . . After I saw the Miyazaki movie.
Sixer: Hehe. Nice introduction. I think my first Diana Wynne Jones was Witch Week. But I read The Homeward Bounders while getting my hair micro braided
Bevity: I haven't read that one yet.
Sixer: It's depressing. It's like The Lives of Christopher Chant, only he doesn't have nine lives, get the girl, or discover he's a powerful sorcerer. Instead he ends up being semi-immortal, which he doesn't realize until he meets his grand-niece.
Bevity: Sounds depressing.
Sixer: Unlike our randomly selected work for this month.
Bevity: Which is brilliantly clever and traditionally Diana Wynne Jones – by taking something well known and turning it on it's head in an unconventional and original way.
Sixer: Do you want to tell them what it is?
Bevity: Drumroll please . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Dark Lord of Derkholm (Exclamation point!)
Sixer: Which we've both already started at this point.
Bevity: We're bloglazy.
Sixer: Shouldn't that be hyphenated?
Bevity: Sure
