Queste by Angie Sage is the fourth book in the Septimus Heap Series. I admire how Sage takes the adventures to wild places and ties in previous characters well. I like to know the behind-the-scenes process for things. I picture a giant spreadsheet of her series tracking what has happened, color-coded character arcs, dividers for each novel, and fancy links to expanded text. She's rocking the messy middle with intense plot lines and character growth.

I took a reading break from Septimus Heap to read a little romance. I enjoy Katherine Center's novels and picked up The Bright Side of Disaster. I read romance for escape, so some of the more audacious plot points I was great with. I knew the right people would end up together. She set the stakes high with a pregnant Jenny Harris, being left by her fiancé the day before she gives birth! If only she had an empathetic, hunky neighbor who could help her out. There is a trope that if you want to reveal a character's true self, how do children and pets react to them? If dogs hate them, or they hurt a pet, or avoid children, something is fundamentally wrong with them. It helps separate the white hats from the black.
