I quite like them. I don't read them often. They are geared towards younger readers. My favorite is SKY DOGS an illustrated book about horses in the Americas.

I started to read her books in the 1990s. They weren't bad but didn't hold my attention, mainly because I was so busy and had to cut back on reading. I had an autographed book at one time, but I may have donated it to a community center when I had to move. I don't recall which title that was. She's published over 400 books, so it would take a very dedicated fan to keep up with her work. -

I read The Books of Great Alta and I enjoyed those books. They were well written and I found the idea of sisters-friends who can be summoned from a mirror, who hide in the shadows and can come to your aid in times of need, very unusual and interesting. -

I met her at a conference once. She was delightful. -

To be fair, I had no idea who she was until she sat down. But the "faculty" at the conference were making the rounds to each table, and so it was easy to engage with her, and others, and ask questions. It was so nice to have that sort of forced interaction, where you may or may not fan-boy/fan-girl, but where you can also ask a veteran/experience author the questions that you want to and have that conversation. -

Jane Yolen is "sort of" a local. She often comes from her home in NY state to the Boskone convention held February in MA. Sometimes she just tells her story about receiving the Lensman award (contains a large lens, that should not be set in the sun). and often she participates in panels, and in the smaller round table Kaffeeklatsch sessions. (Bring your own coffee.)
Always gracious.
My favorite book of hers is a picture book SKYDOGS, which she inscribed to my sister.
