8. The Ruby in the Smoke. Philip Pullman.

YA mystery set in Victorian London. I wouldn't have noticed it was YA except for the vocabulary: somewhere about 2/3 through, I noticed that there were no really exotic words for the ships and other tangible goods.

(The reason I'm only on #8 is that I didn't count the last ms. I read for work, because I had read it before. And I have, as usual, several other partly-finished books lying about, and have been "vacationing" by rereading some old friends. My book count is just new-to-me books.)

Good book. I read it a while ago, but I haven't gotten around to reading the other 2 books in the trilogy. Pullman also wrote another series, His Dark Materials, that is also really good. I just finished reading the second book.
