I just finished a 500 page book in three days. It was THAT good. It's called The Grand Tour, or The Purloined Coronation Regalia, and it's by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. It's about these two girls, Cecy and Kate, and their husbands, James and Thomas, respectively. They just got married in this double wedding straight out of Jane Austen (It's set in the Regency era, coincidentally enough), and now they're on their honeymoon, or Grand Tour of Europe. And there's this mystery about missing stuff, and they keep running into the same people, and there's knitting. Oh, and Cecy and Thomas are wizards. I mean, it's not like Harry Potter magic, but it's pretty spiffy. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Turns out The Grand Tour is the second book Wrede and Stevermer have written. The first is called Sorcery and Cecilia. I wanted to read that one first, but Barnes and Noble didn't have it. I know, it's strange reading a series backwards, but oh well. I'm gonna see if I can find it when I go home this weekend.
In other news, Mythbusters is all new tonight! Can't wait!

I think I read the first one? One of them at least... XD Didn't the two women write it by exchanging letters or something, and basically let the story evolve as it would?
ReplyDeleteReally? I dunno, I just read the book.
