The Awakening by Nora Roberts
Date Started: March 25
Goodreads Summary: 
In the realm of Talamh, a teenage warrior named Keegan emerges from a lake holding a sword—representing both power and the terrifying responsibility to protect the Fey. In another realm known as Philadelphia, a young woman has just discovered she possesses a treasure of her own…

When Breen Kelly was a girl, her father would tell her stories of magical places. Now she’s an anxious twentysomething mired in student debt and working a job she hates. But one day she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: her mother has been hiding an investment account in her name. It has been funded by her long-lost father—and it’s worth nearly four million dollars.

This newfound fortune would be life-changing for anyone. But little does Breen know that when she uses some of the money to journey to Ireland, it will unlock mysteries she couldn’t have imagined. Here, she will begin to understand why she kept seeing that silver-haired, elusive man, why she imagined his voice in her head saying Come home, Breen Siobhan. It’s time you came home. Why she dreamed of dragons. And where her true destiny lies—through a portal in Galway that takes her to a land of faeries and mermaids, to a man named Keegan, and to the courage in her own heart that will guide her through a powerful, dangerous destiny…

Little Thoughts: This one took me a bit to be sucked in, but by the time I hit part 2, I was sucked in and hated that I had to go into work today.  It was a rainy Sunday and it would have been the perfect day to just curl up and read.  I really like Breen and I can't wait to see her journey. I know from a friend it ends on a cliffhanger that made her angry since book 2 isn't out yet!

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Date Started: March 25
Goodreads Summary: 
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

Little Thoughts: Listening as part of Pheobe Reads a Mystery. S&S isn't my favorite Austen novel, but for some reason I keep giving it yet another chance hoping maybe this time I'll see what everyone else sees in the story.
