''Inactivity for the next month or so due to school. I will respond to any messages on my talk page, guaranteed, but I won't have time to write much. You may see some contributions from me here and there, but I don't have time for regular activity until this semester is over.''

Wow, it's been a while since I was here. Hello, all, I'm LapisScarab! I dropped off the face of the wiki world a year or two ago because I was going through a lot in my personal life and was moving into college. I intend to help here as much as I possibly can. This is one of my favorite book series, and I want this wiki to be the go-to source for information on it eventually.

It may take me some time to get back in the swing of editing, and I can't guarantee that I'll be very consistent, given that college work comes first, but I'll do what I can.

Deltora Books I Own
This is a list of the books I own. Take note of which ones are missing (namely the Deltora Book of Monsters. I think there may be another supplementary book I missed, but I'm not sure), because I won't be able to get information from that.
 * Deltora Quest (The first seven books in a compilation edition. I have all but #3 in their normal form).
 * Deltora Shadowlands (all 3)
 * Dragons of Deltora (all 4)
 * Tales of Deltora
 * Secrets of Deltora

How I got into Deltora Quest
The first Deltora Quest book I got was, weirdly enough, Dragon's Nest. I love stuff with dragons and the title and cover caught my attention. I loved the book instantly and got the next three Dragons of Deltora books fairly quickly. I got the Shadowlands and original series around the same time (though I got the original series in a weird order). I got The Forests of Silence first at a school book fair (all the other books I got from Borders), and eventually the rest followed. The only one I never managed to track down was The City of the Rats, but I got a compilation of the first seven books fairly recently, erasing that problem. I got Tales of Deltora before I finally found The Sister of the South, and the most recent book I got was Secrets of Deltora. I have yet to find a copy of The Deltora Book of Monsters, which bothers me.
