Brilliant books

Is it just me that steals their kids library books?
I've just read the most brilliant series of four books - The Karazan Quartet - by New Zealander V.M. Jones. They were great fantasy and so well written that I was actually taking them to work to read at lunchtime. I couldn't put them down.

Having finished those I have now returned to the first Harry Potter book. I figured I might just have time to read my way through the series in time for the release of the final book.
