Quill Awards

Two of my favorite authors won Quill awards! Nora Roberts and Diana Gabaldon. The lovely Ms. Roberts won for Blue Smoke, and the amazing Ms. Gabaldon won for A Breath of Smoke and Ashes. I highly recommend you check them out!

Blue Smoke is the tale of a girl who watched her family's restaurant go up in smoke as a child, and becomes an arson investigator. (Waaaay over simplified... but it's super story.)

A Breath of Smoke and Ashes is the continuing saga of Claire and Jamie. While I'm sure it stands on its own, it's best read as the sixth book of the Outlander series. If you haven't read them, RUN!! don't walk to the bookstore or library and find Outlander! Claire is a woman from 1945 England who ends up in 1743 Scotland. (Again... amazingly over simplified, but worth reading all 6 books. You'll be set for reading material this season!)
