The Case of the Missing Birthday Ring

Wednesday, February 8, 2017
It all started with hushed whispers, that escalated to hushed shouts, which escalated to tears and threats. All held behind a locked door.
Wondering what on earth was going on, I asked my daughter when she came out. She only burst into tears, stormed to her room, and slammed the door.
When pressed, my husband only mumbled, "Don't worry about it. Yet."
This behavior escalated for about ten minutes, finally involving an angry, red-faced teenager, who finally let the truth slip.
My daughter found my birthday present (apparently a beautiful ring) and played with it. When she was nearly caught, she shoved the box in her brother's backpack to avoid detection. And then completely forgot about it.
After much weeping and wailing, she finally remembered. Upon questioning, the teenager reported that he had found a woman's ring and had turned it into the school office.
Husband rushed to the school and found the ring in the lost and found.
This kind of stuff only happens to us.

Jane Austen + Monsters = A Shadow Bright and Burning

Wednesday, February 1, 2017
Imagine if Jane Austen was suddenly promoted as England's last, best hope to defeat the ancients (demons). As the only female sorcerer born in decades, she's obviously the prophesied one. Or is she? Because when her magic works, it doesn't behave like it's supposed to. But failure isn't an option; she won't return to her previous life as a nobody. Even if the only other option is death. 

Being the only female sorcerer, she has her pick of boys. Should she go with the boy she's been in love with for as long as she can remember, the dashing flirt who completely accepts her, or the stodgy benefactor who keeps her at a distance? Because one of them will betray her. 

Lovely book. I don't recommend the audiobook though, not because it wasn't well done, but because the complexity of the plot had me lost at time and I would have liked to have gone back and reread.
