OOOOOOO, how could I forget those? I was I guess thinking of books I 
picked up after Harry ended and I read a lot when I was waiting for 
next HP book.

I cannot say that I could get into all Jones' books, but absolutely I 
love Crestomanci books. Have you read two latest ones? I am not sure 
how new they are, but I read them recently enough -
