That is a lot!! I've recently discovered Diana is the one who wrote Howl's Moving Castle. Or am I confused again? But yes. I read a short story Neil Gaiman selected for his Unnatural Creatures book and I really liked it! I haven't read any of her books, though. I'll look for them.
The one book I've loved this year, so far, is The Final Empire. MY GOD. I'm actually reading it again because the second book is on its way to me and I want to have everything really fresh once I can start it. Wheeeee! I AM SO EXCITED.
I'm aiming for 60 books this year! Yes, Diana Wynne Jones is indeed the author of Howl's Moving Castle! Hexwood is in fact dedicated to Neil Gaiman, and a character in Deep Secret and The Merlin Conspiracy is loosely based on him :D She's just amazing, definitely one of my favourite authors. I'm reading a book of her essays (foreword by Neil Gaiman, haha) as well as her fiction, and it's so interesting to see how she thought about writing for children and young adults, the creative process, magic, etc.
I've reserved The Final Empire at the library due to your recommendation!
