Book Review: Howl's Moving Castle

This book was one of my favorites long before the movie of the same name was released (rather than vice-versa). I first read it in early college, and I've loved it ever since. I can't really explain why I love it so much, but I think it's a combination of things: the descriptions are vibrant and colorful, and the storyline is unusual and set in a magical kingdom that I can't help but want to visit. I re-read it at least yearly, usually in the springtime. If you're looking for something exciting, happy, and uplifting, this is the book to read!
