I love Diana WYnne Jones and Dark Lord of Derkholm is a very fun read.
Another magical trilogy -
The Queen of Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton - he wrote these for his daughters, not his usual scifi fare.
Not sure what I'll pick to read as yet, I've read most of your list already.

I have a few that appeal this month. Maybe the Pears but a couple of YA books also stand-out to me.

I found my copy of Imajica so I might try that. I've read two of the Abarat books and another of his. Also requested a copy of The Invisible Library.

>9 amanda4242: Oh thanks for saying that about Imajica.
The Queen of Dreams books have such awful covers that I almost didn't read them, but I'm a completist of Peter F Hamilton so I did and really loved the world he imagined for the books.
