Well I got Mister Monday by Garth Nix free with my Potter preorder from WHSmiths. SO I read it, it was a little juvenile but quite light hearted and really interesting. i enjoyed the world and bought the sequels that have been released. I really like them
Anyone else read The Keys to the Kingdom set by Garth Nix?

I love that series! I've only read the first two so far but they have so much fantasy and I just can't wait to read the others lol
Friday comes out in about a fortnight according to the Nix webby.
ALso - Ive just finished Thursday so Im waiting in anticipation for the next book.
Ahhhhhh! When does Friday come out? I'm dying without it. Meanwhile, I'm amusing myself reading anything by Garth Nix that I haven't read yet. lol.
In that case, I think i'll go finish off the few pages left of Lirael. THAT series is great. I still use Keys to the Kingdom as English class books, though. It's so much easier to do assignments with. =]
I wasnt a fan of them to begin with but once the magic comes into play everything picks up.
The beginning of Monday is poor but then it gets much better.
I tried to read Mister Monday, but the beginning didn't grip me. Maybe I'll try to read it again.
I love everything by Garth Nix. I've still got to read Wednesday and Thursday.
They seem more young Adult/ Adult fantasy that the keys series. I may borrow them because i read the sample chapter and wasnt that gripped.
Yeah. I wasn't totally sure what the series as a whole was called, but on Nix's official site it says The Old Kingdom.
YAY! I think I'll count down, then. I don't think they're very challenging, but I really like them. Just like Harry Potter, you know?
And, Lilly03, when you say The Old Kingdom, which series is that? Are you talking about Abhorsen?
Friday is coming out in 15 days.
They are a pretty good read, Tuesday being much better than Monday.
The start of Monday didnt really entrance me but as the book went on, I was gripped
I read the first one... It was pretty good, but as you said it was a little juvenile so I didn't really feel driven to read the rest of them.
The Old Kingdom, on the other hand... Freaking brilliant.
YES!!!!!!!! I love them!!! You're right, it is a little juvenile, but yeah. I own all four of them. I don't think the fifth one's come out yet...if it has please PM me.
I love Garth Nix in general (even though I never made it through the Seven Towers series). He has a really awesomely weird obsession w/ the numbers 7 and 9.
