Lady in the Light

I also loved her Bogart series...

Yes, those are fun--light-hearted with plenty of strange happenings to keep everyone busy.

Indeed they can be. Plus, I doubt the library actually has the books. They're a bit lacking in interesting fantasy books.

You can ask your librarian to get them. They actually do take requests sometimes if they have money left for new books.

I could, but I don't care enough right now. I have too many books that I have to read for the first time to re-read anything that I don't have right now.

Then it has definitely been too long. People need to keep libraries busy & in business!

You may have to ask where the books are shelved. One of the libraries near my house has the strange habit of shelving the award-winning books in their own separate section. This is not such a terrible idea except that the catalog doesn't indicate that they are separate. Also, in some cases--as with The Dark is Rising--it splits series up.

Um. Back to Susan Cooper. I prefer her standalones to her series. Will infuriates me rather frequently in the Dark series making everyone forget this or that as it seems convenient to him. Bleh.

But the Boggart 2 were a lot of fun, and Seaward was great--very haunting.

I loved "the dark is rising"-books, but unfortunately my library had only three of them when I read them....

I REALLY like the Dark is Rising Sequence! It brilliant! But the end of Silver on the Tree is sad. Its a book i'll read, but i don't want to read it again. I have but i don't like the end...

Susan Cooper...huh. I haven't heard that name in a while. neutral  

[Sol-chan]

I loved the Dark is Rising!! My library actually had the entire series, unlike most of the people's here. biggrin
I started the Bogart but I didn't like it nearly as much as The Dark is Rising, for some reason...  

[Wissakins]

For those Dark Is Rising fans, there is a new movie out on DVD now based on the first book. Its called "The Seeker." I really enjoyed it. I had no idea it was based on this book until I started watching it and went "HEY! That's The Dark is Rising!!!"

Cooper is a great author.
