Have you read any of Vivian Vande Velde's books? They're brilliant and hilarious. I definitely recommend them. ^__^ Oh. And Diana Wynne Jones. Very intelligent and creative lady, there.

I've seen Dianna Wynne Jones's books at the library, but shied away because they were incredibly thick and usually had pictures of animals on the cover. This was when I was younger, however, and perhaps next time I'm at the library I'll give one a go! This Vivian Vande Velde (that can't be her real name, I'll eat my hat!) I've never even heard of. Time to experiment!

Don't know if you heard of Studio Ghibli's film Howl's Moving Castle, but it was originally a book by DWJ. One of my favourites. :3 I'm slowly working on the Chrestomanci books (most likely the one you saw with the cat on it belonged in that series), but I think they're amazing. And prepare to eat your hat, missy! >:D

Oh, yes, I have seen Howl's Moving Castle and I did know DWJ wrote it. And you're right, the book I saw did have a cat on the cover. I made a staunch point of never reading those gigantic Redwall books because I didn't want to read about mice (even though I've read books that only featured deer, say, or rabbits--I'm weird), so I wasn't really drawn to the cat thing. But now I'm thinking once I have time I ought to give DWJ and VVV both a try.
Man...I really like my hat. Oh well...

And as for Eoin Colfer, yeah, last time I checked (a while ago), he had about four other books. The Benny and Omar/Babe books were fun, and the Wish List was good too.
