The September Society by: Charles Finch

I highly recommend this author. His first book, A Beautiful Death was nominated for the Agatha Award and when I started reading it I found it very hard to put down. I enjoy reading all kinds of historial fiction and Mr. Finch has not disappointed  me. He is spot on in his depiction of the times and his character Charles Lenox is just quirky enough to make these mysteries a very good read.
Be sure to start with the first book so that you won't miss out on the development of Charles Lenox's character.

Toast Mortem by: Claudia Bishop

This is the latest installment of the Hemlock Falls series. Sisters, Quill and Meg are still running their bed and breakfast inn and of course, still finding dead bodies and solving the crimes. We've been following this series for a few years now and I have to say Claudia Bishop has really given these ladies an interesting life.
Even if you don't start from the beginning of the series you will find this to be a good mystery read.

The Enchanted Forest by: Patricia C. Wrede

This is an  interesting kind of a fairy tale. The heroine Cimorene is a princess, but doesn't want to become a wife and have to do all the things that are expected of a wife and Queen. She longs for some adventure, so she runs away and becomes friends with a dragon and her adventures begin. As she settles into her life with the dragons she discovers that most of the dragons have princesses that want to be rescued by princes and so she becomes a matchmaker for awhile.
If you're up for a little bit of fantasy this book will fill the bill. A very different take on being a Princess.

Guardians of Ga'Hoole by: Kathryn Lasky

I have read the first 3 books of this series and enjoyed them very much. I'm still a kid at heart, I like books where the animals talk. The movie is a our Video On Demand channel, but I'm going to try to read Book 4 before we watch it.
This series is a good story of family, friendship, and adventure, a never fail combination.

Happy reading,
