Reading
A discovery of witches by Deborah Harkness is the most fun I have had in ages. You know how you read for relaxation or because everyone is reading a book or just out of habit? Well this book will take you past that. Even though it is large it flys by before you know it.
A young reasearcher, Diana Bishop puts in a slip to call up an alchemical manuscript in the course of her researchand findes it bewitched. Descended from a distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with wictch, but isn't sure why she feels this way. She returns the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets world of beings ( daemons, witches, and vampires ) into an uproar., and a horde of these creatures descends upon the library in Oxford England.
It is a faire tale and a romance together. Each character has his/her own back story and are all well developed. By page 400 or so you are sure this can't end which sends you to the authors web site in search of the sequel
Sure enough this is the first in the All Souls Trilogy . The second book will be Shadow of Night and is expected in the Summer of 2012.
