( Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot )

I am not a happy girl. I had nearly finished a post reviewing the books I'd read in January, hit 'more options' on the LJ portal, and then Firefox froze and ate my post. GAH. So this will probably be shorter than it was originally going to be.

( Mélusine - Sarah Monette )
