Description
The New York Times bestselling novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world
Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill Quentin's yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they'd imagined. Psychologically piercing and dazzlingly inventive, The Magicians is an enthralling coming-of-age tale about magic practiced in the real world-where good and evil aren't black and white, and power comes at a terrible price.

City of Veils
by Zoe Ferraris
It is rare that a follow-up book is better than the first, but as much
as I really enjoyed Ferraris’ first Saudi Arabia mystery, Finding Nouf,
the second one is even better. The main characters are Nayir, a devout
Muslim desert guide, and Katya, a forensic analyst caught in the dilemma
that is Saudi’s policing system - there is strong disapproval of women
who have jobs, but men are not allowed to interview female suspects or touch
female corpses; there must, therefore, be female police officers and
analysts, but women shouldn’t have jobs… read the rest of Lillian's review.
Bitter in the Mouthby Monique Truong
I have to confess: I may not have read this novel if I hadn’t been invited to meet the author, despite all the great things I heard about Truong’s previous novel, The Book of Salt. I should just tell myself to stop thinking and just start reading because oh, am I glad I am read this! The narrator, Linda, has synesthesia that makes her taste words as she hears and speaks them...read the rest of Tegan's review
