book report (and the worst description in the world.)

So far this year, I have read four books. The first one I read was The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen, it was a sweet and charming read. If you like Alice Hoffman's style of writing, this is very similar and in the vein of magic realism. One of the characters has a thing where books magically appear whenever she needs them, which is a really great ability, except that it manifests itself by self-help books stalking her.

Then I started the Morland Dynasty series by Cynthia Harrod Eagles, which is an enormously long series following one English family starting in 1434. So far, I've read the first two books, The Founding and The Dark Rose. I really like the idea of the story and also learning more about history and they are not badly written, but there are some things about them that I am starting to dislike.
