recommendation #2

Next up to bat: The Magicians and Mrs. Quent, by Galen Beckett. Nutshell description is Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell meets a whole host of nineteenth-century literature in an alternate England that, now that I think about it, reminds me weirdly of George R. R. Martin.

Which should send at least a few of you leaping to follow that link. <g>

I've heard nothing but good things about that book... Looks like I'll be heading to the bookstore sometime soon! :)

It's another one that surprised me by sucking me in. I kept thinking I should put the book down to go do something else, then realized (with a great deal of relief) that I actually had the leisure to sit and read at will.
