A boost for Howl's Moving Castle. I like the idea of letting the pool steer me away from the same familiar choices.

Grainne, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Howl's Moving Castle is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Conor, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Howl's Moving Castle: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
