Wow. Ok, so I'm not a big fantasy reader, but I've been wanting to start this series for a while and definitely wanted to read it before watching any of the HBO series. And wow.

Shadow of Night – Deborah Harkness
Date Started: July 10, 2012
Date Finished: July 16, 2012
Let me start by saying that I really liked this book. As previously mentioned, I LOVED the first book, “A Discovery of Witches,” and haven’t been this excited about a sequel in quite some time.

Sarah's Key - Tatiana de Rosnay
Date Started - 6/29/12
Date Finished -6/30/12
Not going to lie, I didn't think I would finish this one so quickly. I was kind of counting on it to hold me over until the sequel to A Discovery of Witches comes out. Oh well! This was a great quick read and one that I would definitely recommend.

Ahab's Wife - Sena Jeter Naslund
Date Started - 6/?/12 - I forget but it feels like forever ago
Date Finished - 6/29/12
Good Lord, I finally finished this book. I was done with it about 90 pages in but because I'm no quitter, I stuck with it and finished all 666 pages (that should have been my first clue - any book that has the mark of the beast is probably not going to be great).

Date Finished -- 6/8/12
Woo-wee, I finally finished this one. It DID end up taking me a bit longer and I have to say, it wasn't my favorite. Read on for more...

A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness
Date Started: 5/1/12
Date Finished: 5/11/12
One-Word Summary: Spectacular
This was a re-read; I actually read this book for the first time about a year ago. I liked it so much I bought it for my mom for Christmas and after an initial hesitation (I think based on the title) she adored the book as well.

The Great Gasby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Date Started: 4/2/12
Date Finished: 4/5/12
One-Word Summary: Gilded
I read The Great Gatsby in high school but had only vague memories. I seemed to recall something about a car wreck but that was about it. I'm glad I finally revisited this classic, especially in light of the fact that a movie is being made, which I will likely see.
