FINALLY is the first thought I had. We finally get Fallon's story and it's a great one. Full of mystery and investigation and danger of course. Isabella has quite a history and being a Finder makes her a great addition to J & J.
A small tie back to Eclipse Bay and Arizona Snow is fun too, and Zach Jones and Raine make appearances too.

Quicksilver (glass light trilogy book 1)
by Amanda Quick.
I LOVE amanda quick books! I've read them all (most of them I've read twice). And her new ones are just as good. They are definitely formulaic and there are a few 'scenes' that are basically required in an Amanda Quick book but I love them for that too.
This is in the Arcane Society series so it's a paranormal victorian romance. Virginia can read images stored in mirrors and Owen is a Sweetwater (finally we get to meet some more of that family!) Neither is actually a member of Arcane but they are tightly coupled with them. There's a secondary romance going on as well which is always fun.
I highly recommend this one and it was just a lead up to the second in the series which is FINALLY Fallon Jone's story!

What I'm reading
I've had a dry spell from the reading department and I know I've read a few books a couple months ago that I forgot to write about.
Currently I'm reading the two latest Sookie books, I have really lost interest in them but decided while at my sister's recently that I did want to read them so I started Dead in the Family. For now I put it down but hope to pick it up again.
The reason i put down the Sookie book is that I got the Glasslight trilogy books from my sister (well the first two). I'm reading the Amanda Quick book QuickSilver now and of course loving it, always do!
Since finishing The Help I started listening to a new author Julia Quinn with Ten Things I Love About You, another victorian romance and so far so good.
I'm finally back to reading and looking forward to my vacation next week and a bit more time to read then!

The Help
by Kathryn Stockett.
I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to see the movie. It takes place in the 60's in Alabama and deals with the 'separate but equal' issue from an interesting viewpoint. I laughed, I cried and just loved this book and all of the characters telling their stories. Very well done!
I would recommend this to anyone - and will!

Book Catchup (Audible)
I've been very bad at blog entries, so here's a quick recap of what I can remember listening to this summer so far...
Somewhere I'll Find You - by Lisa Kleypas
Damon and Julia, 'married' when they were young and have not seen each other since. Meet up unexpectedly and she tries to conceal who she is. This is the first of the theatre series (Logan Scott) and it was quite good.
Then Came You - by Lisa Kleypas
Alex and Lily. Lily has a secret past (and daughter) and Alex is set to marry her sister. Lily decides to save her sister and concocts a scheme which of course ends with a romance between herself and Alex. This is the first in the Derek Craven series.
Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor - by Lisa Kleypas
This is a shorter book that tells the story of Zachary who adopts his niece after his sister dies. He then falls for the perfect woman, but he's got a girlfriend and she's got a history with marriage. A nice short love story with a bit more drama than necessary but entertaining.
Fly Away Home - by Jennifer Weiner
This author was recommended to me so I thought I'd try one of her books out. I may not have chosen the best first book to read. It follows the story of 3 women, a mother and her two daughters. The mother's husband is a politician and gets caught in a scandal and she has to decide what to do while her daughters are dealing with their own problems (one is having an affair herself and the other is a recovering drug addict). It was a good book and the characters are touching. Not the lightest or easiest emotionally but worth the read.
I just finished the Help too, but that gets it's own post!
