A Midwinter’s Wedding – Melanie Cellier
I’ve accidently happened upon a theme here –starting in the midst of series. In this case, it’s a series of fairy tale retellings, which are loose enough there is a note saying you can start anywhere, though you’re probably better off reading them in order if you can. Cordelia is one of the youngest in

Sapphire Flames – Ilona Andrews
I managed to start a series midway through, but it’s fortunately a good place to start in this case. Catalina has just become the head of her household of magic users (alternate present day real world with magic – this is set in Houston). A friend’s mother and sister are killed, and she vows to

Knitting Notes
Here’s the rest of the Blue Moon Silky Sock yarn used up in hexipuffs. On a side note, wool is hilariously soft when you take a quick detour from working with linen instead. Which is probably inconceivable to many people since wool = scratchy in most people’s heads. But it’s totally true!

Here’s Villa. I’ll admit, doing the first row, I had no idea what the heck was going to happen. Now that I’m in the second row of blocks, it’s making sense. I am cheating and using stitch holders on the other sections I’ve gone through already. You should theoretically be able to keep them
Hunting Ground – Patricia Briggs
Anna and Charles, still only married a month, are off to Seattle on a mission for Charles’ father, the Marrok. I’m running behind where these books parallel the Mercy Thompson books, so this is just before the werewolves have decided to come out to mortals, and the Marrok wants to meet with the European werewolves

Manners and Mutiny – Gail Carriger
In this final book of the Finishing School series, Sophronia and her friends end up having to save England from the Picklemen, and it’s a pretty full on steampunk flavored, dirigible destroying experience. These books are just a ton of fun, and have just the right amount of romance included. Just the kind of fluff
