Nicola here. It’s the end of September and as usual we’re doing our round up of Wench reading for the month and asking you to recommend some more books for our towering TBR piles! One of the things I love about the What We’re Reading feature is that the recommendations always inspire and enthuse me. It’s lovely to hear people sharing their suggestions with such pleasure! As the nights grow longer here in the UK and the evenings are cool it’s the most perfect time to curl up in front of the woodburning stove. Maybe that’s why the first book I’m talking about this month is called Into the Fire. It’s a dual time story set in the present and the fifteenth century, involving the story of Joan of Arc. Into the Fire is a thriller and I found I was equally engaged with the modern parts of the story as I was with the engrossing mystery surrounding Joan. This book is really compelling. I could not put it down.
The other book I’m reading at the moment is Shadow on the Highway by Deborah Swift. I absolutely love it! It’s based on a real story; that of Katherine Fanshawe, who was an heiress turned highwaywoman during the English Civil War. It’s a Young Adult book that also appeals to adults – well, to this adult certainly, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. Deborah Swift writes so beautifully and conjures up the period brilliantly well.
Susan: These past few weeks I've caught up a bit on the to-be-reads, the reads-for-research, and some wonderful listening while 
driving. Paula Hawkins' The Girl On the Train has been mentioned before, I believe by Nicola, and I finally got around to it myself–a very compelling read, with characters and plot twists that kept me guessing, and pacing that had me reading one more chapter, just one more…a very interesting story! While researching, I read Helen Macdonald's H Is for Hawk, which Andrea mentioned a while back, and it's been teetering in my TBR stack for months; I'm glad I took the time to sit down and focus on this fascinating story of Macdonald's experience taming a goshawk. Years ago I read T.H. White's The Goshawk and loved it, and Macdonald uses White's book as a touchpoint throughout her beautifully written tale of falconry and life.
And for a different sort of "book"–I finally had the time to listen to the CD set of the musical Hamilton, and I absolutely loved it. Exuberant, poignant, joyful, heartbreaking and unforgettable–it brilliantly tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and the founding fathers in a freewheeling, style with a contemporary edge with yet a very firm grasp of history and its implications. I listened to it twice through, and can't wait to get back to it again. I so loved it that I have already started in on Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton, the book that inspired the musical.
Andrea: I have a towering TBR pile, and lots of new books I’m dying to get at. But there are times when I’m just in the mood to go back to old favorites, and this month has been one of those moments. I was madly scrambling to finish a WIP and get it in on deadline, and after I hit send, I found myself looking up at my bookshelves and suddenly my gaze fell on the row of Harry Potter books. I took down one of the later ones—The Half Blood Prince . . .well, at 2 in the morning I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open. I glommed through it and immediately went back to the shelves and grabbed The Deathly Hallows to finish the epic tale.
I found the stories just as magical has I did when I first read them, and marveled yet again at Rowling’s gift of writing in such a powerful way about friendship, love, doubts, fear—all the things that make us human. That her message of hope and the ability of the human spirit to triumph over darkness is done in such a way that it resonates with all ages makes the books even more special. She reminded me yet again of what why storytelling has always been such an elemental part of our collective psyche. (Next month I shall be back to the TBRs!)
Anne here, and my recommendation for this month is THE HATING GAME, a debut book that has gone viral, by an aussie girl, Sally 
Thorne. It's a classic office romance that's funny, fresh and wildly original. Two small but very different publishing companies have merged and our hero and heroine are the assistants to the two CEOs. They share an office and are fiercely competitive — in a silent, we're-all-professionals-here kind of way. They're polar opposites; he's big, coldly efficient, reserved and neat, she's short, messy, warm-hearted and popular. It's a very funny rom com — some real laugh out loud moments — and also some very touching moments.
I gather that the author, Sally Thorne, didn't know any romance writers in Australia, but was friends with two US writers. They read her draft, sent it to their US agent and lo! A deal was struck and THE HATING GAME is now everywhere. It even showed up as a recommendation in Eloisa James's latest newsletter ( I'd already read it.)
Pat recommends My Very Best Friend by Cathy Lamb.
Women’s fiction. I’d like to say this is about a blocked romance writer who returns home to Scotland to rediscover the place she left behind, but it’s also a hilarious look into a past she’s forgotten and a way of life. It’s a romance and a beautiful story of love and friendship lost and found. It’s impossible to even summarize the story without giving too much away, but take a look at the excerpt to give you an idea of the wonderful voice. The characterization is beyond delightful. I doubt that I’ve laughed and cried over a book as much as I did this one in years. It’s also wordy. Good words but repetitive, so I did a lot of skimming. The people are brave and kind and outrageously courageous and sometimes the story is horribly cruel. But the ending is both happy and bittersweet and well worth the effort!
So there you have our recommendations for the month of September. You'll notice that some Wenches are keeping books up their sleeves for next month! In the meantime, please do share – what are you reading?
Thank you so much for mentioning my book in your reading list.I’m reading Leah Fleming’s ‘Orphans of War’ – a blockbuster of a saga set in WWII. And just finished ‘The Light Between Oceans’ which is a real weepie. Haven’t seen the film, and don’t think I want to, not now I’ve read the book and enjoyed it so much.

A pleasure, Deborah. It’s such a lovely book and I particularly enjoy the way you create such vivid characters and atmosphere.
I enjoy Leah Fleming’s books although I haven’t read that one. We’ve just been talking about films and TV programmes based on books; so often they can be a let down after you’ve enjoyed the book so much although sometimes they can be a nice surprise!

This month has been a slow month for reading. Unlike the summer where I read tons of books one of which was “Sea Glass” by Anita Shreve(what a great read would recommend) I only read 3 this month. Started off the month with “The Picture of Dorian Gray” which I found both compelling and a bit sad. It also left me wanting for more information. I then moved on to a true crime book by Ann Rule “The End of the Dream” it was a wonderful book and love how she makes the people real not just blunt facts. Finally finishing up the month today finishing(hopefully) “Christine” by Stephen King. I will say I tried one of his books several years ago but could not get into it. Since then my brother lent me “Needful Things” which I read in 2 days I could not put it down. Ever since that book have been trying to make my way through his books. “Christine” is no exception I find myself not wanting to put the book down or parting with the characters. I chose this book because it is so close to Halloween figured some horror would be a good choice. Not sure what I will be reading next month but my TBR pile is bountiful and the cold snowy months lay just ahead.

There are quite a few books titled ‘into the fire’. Who is the author of this one? It looks intriguing but I can’t identify it..

Thanks for visiting, Jami, and for your recommendations. I loved Sea Glass and haven’t read it for a while. You have prompted me to pick it up again.

— I re-read the contemporary romance Act Like It by Lucy Parker; it had me laughing aloud several times.
— One recent book provided a good physical workout as I picked it up, put it down, picked it up, put it down, …. It was oddly repellent yet intriguing. It was a fantasy which felt like a young adult book (I actually checked the spine label at one point) but definitely wasn’t. I’m not sure I’d recommend it, but I’ll probably look for the next volume in the series. Can you say conflicted? The Queen of All that Dies (The Fallen World Book 1) by Laura Thalassa
— the quite enjoyable contemporary Suddenly in Love (A Lake Haven Novel) by Julia London.
— Love On My Mind by Tracey Livesay. The hero of this contemporary romance has Asperger Syndrome, so I was reminded of The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie whose hero is similarly afflicted.
— For a challenge at the Joyfully Jay site, I read The Devil Lancer: A Novel of the Crimean War by Astrid Amara. The events in this book took place in the 1850s primarily on the Crimean peninsula which is located in the Black Sea. I’d describe the story as a blend of historical and paranormal fiction. One of the main characters is a British captain in the Lancers division; the other is a half-Russian, half-English officer who is possessed by a demon. On the plus side, the book is incredibly well researched and it was an easy read. I learned about the Crimean war – the waiting, the boredom, the deaths from disease, cold, and fighting, the poor command. However, it took time for me to understand the story line, and I didn’t feel connected to either character. I’m happy to have read this book, but I don’t think it’s one I’ll be re-reading.
— the contemporary romance Fully Ignited (Boston Fire Book 3) by Shannon Stacey; it was an enjoyable read. Even though it is the third book in a series, it stands alone well.
— For my book group, The Foreign Student: A Novel by Susan Choi. It was a gripping read, and I recommend it. The story is set primarily in 1950s Korea and Tennessee.
— Radiator Days by Lucy Knisley which I enjoyed. It was different from the other books of hers that I’ve read in that this was a collection of illustrated pieces rather than one continuous story.
— Sarina Bowen’s contemporary romance Rookie Move
— Marie Force’s Fatal Frenzy; I’ve liked all of the books in the Fatal series. These are romantic suspense.
— Unsuitable by Ainslie Paton. This was an enjoyable contemporary romance. The two main characters are a businesswoman and her male nanny.
— I went on to read more books by Ainslie Paton, Damaged Goods (Sidelined Book 2) and White Balance.
— I re-read a favorite novella ~ Peanut Goes to School by Thea Harrison
— A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. I read this for my sister’s book group which will be meeting in a couple of weeks the night before I fly home (I’m currently being a companion to my mother). I am not unhappy to have read this; however, I would not have finished it were it not for a book group. It’s the kind of book that left me with more questions than answers.
— I also read Defying the Odds by Kele Moon which is a contemporary romance. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations given the praise I’d heard.
And for those who might like a free book: I read a review on the Dear Author site of the historical romance April and May by Beth Elliott which is currently available free to Kindle readers.
And a currently free Kindle young adult novel that has some enthusiastic reviews ~ The Secret Billionaire by Teymour Shahabi

— Radiator Days by Lucy Knisley which I enjoyed. It was different from the other books of hers that I’ve read in that this was a collection of illustrated pieces rather than one continuous story.
— Sarina Bowen’s contemporary romance Rookie Move
— Marie Force’s Fatal Frenzy; I’ve liked all of the books in the Fatal series. These are romantic suspense.
— Unsuitable by Ainslie Paton. This was an enjoyable contemporary romance. The two main characters are a businesswoman and her male nanny.
— I went on to read more books by Ainslie Paton, Damaged Goods (Sidelined Book 2) and White Balance.
— I re-read a favorite novella ~ Peanut Goes to School by Thea Harrison
— A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. I read this for my sister’s book group which will be meeting in a couple of weeks the night before I fly home (I’m currently being a companion to my mother). I am not unhappy to have read this; however, I would not have finished it were it not for a book group. It’s the kind of book that left me with more questions than answers.
— I also read Defying the Odds by Kele Moon which is a contemporary romance. I enjoyed it, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations given the praise I’d heard.
And for those who might like a free book: I read a review on the Dear Author site of the historical romance April and May by Beth Elliott which is currently available free to Kindle readers.
And a currently free Kindle young adult novel that has some enthusiastic reviews ~ The Secret Billionaire by Teymour Shahabi
Wow, what a great list, Kareni. Thank you! I really enjoyed Act Like It and I think it was a favourite book here on teh Wenches. Many thanks for the mention of Beth Elliot’s book. She’s a writing friend of mine and I really loved that book with its unusual background.

Andrea, I reread all the Harry Potter books just before I read The Cursed Child, and I too loved them as much as I did on first reading them.
Anne, I have been getting recommendations for The Hating Game from every direction. It is on my TBR list.
Pat, I loved My Very Best Friend. I gave it 4.5 Stars in my rave review for The Romance Dish. The need for pruning is all that kept it from being a five-star read for me.
I also loved Katarina Bivald’s The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend (translated from the Swedish by Alice Menzies). Sara Lindqvist travels from Sweden to Broken Wheel, Iowa, to visit her pen pal, Amy Harris, only to find Amy has died. The locals insist that she stay in Amy’s book-filled house. “Amy’s room was like [Sara’s] dream library. . . . She could see hundreds, maybe even thousands of books flickering in front of her as the room started spinning before her eyes.” Sara ends up opening a bookstore for the community with Amy’s books. The novel is a delight with a cast of quirky characters and book references to delight the heart of a book-loving reader.

This month I finished House of Shadows by Nicola Cornick, which I would strongly recommend. I liked the way a story told in three different eras was knitted together so seamlessly — that must have taken a lot of work to achieve. I see that our Nic has a new book called The Phantom Tree scheduled in a few months and I’ll be watching for it.
I’m slowly working my way through James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle WW2 mystery/war series. I’ve just finished Blood Alone and am about to start Evil for Evil.
This month I also read two historical mysteries by Issy Brooke, an ebook author new to me, which I quite liked. I also read A Foreign Affair by Caro Peacock (first in her series); The Devil Wins, a Robert B. Parker pastiche by Reed Farrell Coleman, continuing the Jesse Stone series; The Shattered Tree by Charles Todd (#8 in the nurse Bess Crawford WW1 mystery series), Pushing Up Daisies by MC Beaton/Marion Chesney (Agatha Raisin #27); and Making Contact ed. Bill Fawcett, a very thoughtful and not too dated study of first contact possibilities.
Today’s read is Miss Philadelphia Smith by Paula Allardyce, as well as The Reluctant Widow by Georgette Heyer, because just about every time a good discussion gets going on a Heyer title, I have to dip into it again.
My bedtime kindle reading has been more old science fiction by Edmond Hamilton and Murray Leinster and old regencies by Alice Chetwynd Ley, Barbara Metzger, Edith Layton and such – but I don’t really track those much. Plus a zillion samples that didn’t pan out. God bless amazon samples – they’ve saved me a bundle.

My reading has been rather unadventurous lately. I like audio books with great narrators and have beem working through the Mary Balogh and Lisa Kleypas collections. A good narrator like Rosalyn Landor can add new dimensions to a romance novel taking the reading experience to new levels.
On my audio TBL (to be listened too list} I have time slip novels from Susannah Kearsley and Pamela Hartshorne and anything new from MJP. Not many of the wenches seem to publish in audio …. could be missing a trick?

September was a family filled month alternating with some poor health. So I kept to rereads. I won’t name them. They were all books and or book series from Nora Roberts. If you need soothing rereads to get through a confusing month, I can recommend Nora. Pick you own favorites. Even the thrillers are soothing when they are rereads.

I’ve been reading and enjoying Mary Beard’s SPQR, a history of Rome. Admittedly I’m a Roman history nerd, but I am really enjoying this, partly because it’s such a pleasure to read good prose and partly because I love her crack about best-selling history books written by men: “Big books by blokes about battles.”
(I’m also a sucker for alliteration.)

I love the sound of The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, Janga, and have gone out to get a copy straight away. This is why I enjoy the WWR – I would never have found that book otherwise. Thank you!

LOL, Janice “our Nic”! Love it and it;s better than “old nic”! Thank you very much – I am thrilled that you enjoyed House of Shadows. I absolutely loved writing that book and telling the story of the Winter Queen.
I enjoy historical mysteries so will look out for Issy Brooke’s books.

Hi Quantum! Audiobooks are great, I think, and I read somewhere recently that they are a growth area of the book market. The Phantom Tree will be out in audio in December… I envy you the Susanna Kearsley and Pam Hartshorne reads – two of my favourite authors in time slip.

I hope you are much better, Sue. Re-reads can be such a comfort when times are hard. I find myself turning to my old Regency keepers a lot when I want a soothing read.

I’ve heard such good things about SPQR, Lillian, and I enjoy Mary Beard’s writing and her TV programmes. Love the quote too!

Lately I have been re-reading the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. It starts with A Discovery of Witches, then Shadow of Night, and finally The Book of Life. It is the story of Witches, vampires, deamons, and humans and how they all coexist…wrapped around the story of Diana and Matthew, a witch and a vampire. It’s a love story with time travel, adventure, and a some mystery thrown in for good measure. It has become one of my all time favourite trilogies.

I haven’t read Light Between the Oceans yet, or seen the movie, but agree with Nicola that if you truly love a book, the movie may be disappointing in that, by virtue of the medium, it usually has to changed—and usually in the mind of the reader, not for the better!

Yes ACT LIKE IT was a fave book of mine, certainly and I know Mary Jo and some of the other wenches enjoyed it too. What often happens with these posts is that when one of us loves a book the others all go and buy it and read it. *g*

Janga, I’m sure you;ll enjoy the HATING GAME — it;s a quirky fun office romance that’s fresh and original.
Love the sound of Katarina Bivald’s The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, and I think I’ve already bought My Very Best Friend on Pat’s recommendation. Your glowing review is moving it up the TBR pile.

So glad you feel the same way. I really am in awe of her writing and the world and characters she’s created. When a second read is just as riveting, that says a lot to me about an author’s creative power. BTW, I love her Cormoran Strike books too. Very different, of course. But for me she creates very compelling characters and plots. I don’t usually go for really gritty books (and the last one was pretty dark) but just glommed through it. Can’t wait for the next one.
On Anne’s reccomendation, have just started The Hating Game, and am loving it!

Quantum, audio books are generally organized by the publishers. My Chance sisters series (AUTUMN BRIDE, WINTER BRIDE, SPRING, SUMMER etc) are the first of mine that have been made into audio books.
Some of the wenches who have reissued some of their old books, had them recorded for audio I think. It;’s becoming far more popular that it used to be.

Yes, I know Audio is growing, Quantum! We authors don’t always have a choice with our trad publishers, and going the indie route is not cheap. But a good reminder that people are getting p books in many different forms these days, and one must try to keep up!

Hope you are feeling better, Sue! Soothing reads are the best medicine. When I’m under the weather, my go-to reads are Elizabeth Peters and her Amelia Peabody series. They always lift my spirits.

Wendy, I really enjoyed that series too! I’m not usually a vampire/witch sort of reader, but loved the history and intellectual aura. She created a fascinating world and characters.

I’ve had a bit of a slack reading month because to be honest I don’t know where September went. I was in Bath early in the month for part of the Jane Austen Festival. I had the most marvelous time!! Before I went I reread Mansfield Park and A Charming Place by Maggie Lane. I also read The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen for a group read and Evie’s War by Kitty Danton. It’s a new series. I’ve just finished The Four Graces by D E Stevenson and I loved it. My first book by this author and I’ll definitely be buying her others. A lovely easy interesting read without any huge happenings in it. So off now to organise October’s readings!

Our tastes are so similar that like Nicola, I’m going off to hunt for Broken Wheel.
I wish My Very Best Friend had a better editor because the story was so fabulous. Sometimes publishers don’t know what gems they have!

If you were in Bath, you had no reason to be reading! You definitely must go out and become part of the story. 😉 But it sounds like you have a lovely list for the rest of the month.

September was a busy month for me, so I haven’t been reading as much as usual. Also, been doing a lot of re-reads – or as I think of them – comfort reads.
One new book that I just finished was Grace Burrowes’ ASHTON which I enjoyed. Just started re-reading Caroline Warfield’s Dangerous Series. Re-read DANGEROUS NATIVITY (a novella) because one of the child characters in that book is the hero of her next book which will be released soon. You know how it is, once I read one, I had to re-read the other three.

I’m reading through Fear Familar collection By Caroline Burnes. And I’m also reading -again- Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge.

Hi Anne
I checked with Audible UK (Owned by Amazon UK) and annoyingly none of your audio books seem to be available for download in the UK.
Checking with Amazon UK, the audio’s are available in CD mp3 format but are very expensive.
However as the mp3 versions are available I guess it is only a matter of time before they can be downloaded from Audible (where I have an account), at a reasonable price … guess I will have to wait a while longer …. grrrr!

Hi Cara
If you do get into audio books I would urge you to choose the downloadable mp3 option at Audible. That gives readers the option to play the book on many different portable devices and is much cheaper than CDs.
Choosing a narrator with care is also vital. I know a number of people who follow the narrator rather than authors when choosing audio books!

Oh dear, Im sorry about that, Quantum. I get infuriated by the geographical restrictions on book (and audio-book) buying.
And the costs of things are deiced by the publishers, not me.
Maybe your local library can get them in.

I went to a book signing at HRR2016 in Spokane, and got a signed copy of “The Arrangement” from Mary Balogh! So exciting! So of course I had to immediately reread that one. It’s my favorite of the Survivor series.
And I read “Forbidden Nights With the Viscount” by Julia Justiss, which was a misleading title. The only major obstacle between the H&h is that one is a Tory and the other is a Whig, and they are both very serious about their politics. Some might find it boring because of the political parts, and it’s a love story involving two rational, mature adults with no major trauma or misunderstandings, but I found it refreshing. And “Fortune Favors the Wicked” by Theresa Romain was another good book with grown-up people having real-life problems.
I just started reading “The Best of All Possible Worlds”, sci-fi by Karen Lord, and it’s off to a promising start. Usually I gobble up Anne Gracie’s books as soon as they come out, but I left “The Summer Bride” home went I went on vacation, so it’s still on the TBR pile, as is Mary Jo’s book, “Once a Soldier”. Sorry ladies, it’s been a busy few months!

I’m only going to mention 5 of the books I read (I really read more but ….) And I do have the Lucy Parker book Act Like it in TBR. Guess I need to move it up the TBR pile since it got more YES votes this month.
Normally I don’t like vampire books but first the title intrigued me – The Vampire’s Mail Order Bride (by Kristen Painter) and then the written description was even more interesting. It is set in a town in Georgia. It really was a funny book and I’m currently looking for the more in that series.
From Kiss to Queen by Janet Chapman had some hilariously funny bits. It is interesting how she is melding all her different series characters to be in one book!
A Duke to Remember by Kelly Bowen and Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt were quite good as well (both Regencies).
The really off the wall book I read was To Be a U.S. Army Ranger by Russ Bryant. I’m not really sure why I read it but I did enjoy it. It shows in words and pictures in nitty gritty detail, from basic training then the REAL Ranger training to special schools what a person has to survive to get the black and gold Ranger tab.
I am somewhat familiar with Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, GA which they use during the mountain phase of Ranger training. It was neat to go, oh yeah, I’ve seen that.
Plus earlier this year I followed the progress of the first women who were allowed to go through Ranger Training. (I know 2 finished/passed and got the tab, and maybe a 3rd did.)

The really off the wall book I read was To Be a U.S. Army Ranger by Russ Bryant. I’m not really sure why I read it but I did enjoy it. It shows in words and pictures in nitty gritty detail, from basic training then the REAL Ranger training to special schools what a person has to survive to get the black and gold Ranger tab.
I am somewhat familiar with Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, GA which they use during the mountain phase of Ranger training. It was neat to go, oh yeah, I’ve seen that.
Plus earlier this year I followed the progress of the first women who were allowed to go through Ranger Training. (I know 2 finished/passed and got the tab, and maybe a 3rd did.)
I’m only going to mention 5 of the books I read (I really read more but ….) And I do have the Lucy Parker book Act Like it in TBR. Guess I need to move it up the TBR pile since it got more YES votes this month.
Normally I don’t like vampire books but first the title intrigued me – The Vampire’s Mail Order Bride (by Kristen Painter) and then the written description was even more interesting. It is set in a town in Georgia. It really was a funny book and I’m currently looking for the more in that series.

I haven’t come across Caroline Warfield’s series, Mary, but they sound right up my street so I will olok out for those. Thank you for the suggestions. Yes indeed, we know that “series glom” feeling!

Oooh, how interesting, Minna. I think someone has mentioned lucid dreaming before and it sounds a fascinating topic to explore.

LOL, Karin, you have some treats in store with Anne and Mary Jo’s books! It’s good to savour the reading over time.
It’s refreshing to hear about books featuring relationships with different obstacles from the usual ones.

I went straight off to download From Kiss to Queen, Vicki. It sounds great! Plus I’ll be looking out for your other recommendations too. Fascinating stuff about the US Army Ranger training too! What a mix! I love an eclectic selection of books!

It was probably me! It is actually possible to teach yourself to have lucid dreams with the insturctions on the book. I’ve had one lucid dream so far. It just takes time and patience.

Thanks for the VERY good advice, Quantum! As Anne, said, we have no control on whether our trad publishers put out audio books. I t can be done as an indie project, but it’s expensive for a author, so I haven’t yet done it.
You’re so right about a narrator. It’s absolutely key to get a good one.

I haven’t managed to find this in English, but if anyone of you happens to speak German, there’s this fascinating TV-documentary on YouTube about lucid dreaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqiwVnu5n_I
It’s actually thanks to this documentary I found Stephen LaBerge’s book.

At the SF convention at Collinsville last weekend, a panelist from St. Charles and I were busy extoling the Arcane society to one of the local St. Louis writers. She says she likes paranormal, so my friend was telling her about the series, and I chimed right in.
I was telling my friend and the two writers on the panel all about Word Wenches! (This was after the panel had ended!)
I also told the entire room about Mary Jo’s Dark Mirror young adult series.
