32. The Grand Tour, by Wrede and Stevermer.
Fantasy of Manners :). Regency novel where magic works - light mystery, light romance. Recommended (but go read Sorcery And Cecelia first - I can't imagine reading them in inverted sequence).

Ok, requested from the library. :)

Funnily, I just picked up 4 books by Wrede at the library today on a whim - the Dragons series.

I can leave The Grand Tour out in the kitchen (if you've already read Sorcery...). If I can find Sorcery too, I'll leave both out where you'll find them.

Thanks for the tip on Sorcery and Cecelia. I just finished it today. It was the best book I have read in a while. I have had a spate of mediocre books for some reason. Our library system doesn't have The Grand Tour yet, but I'll keep watching. I requested another book by each of the authors to see if I like those.

Patricia Wrede also wrote a series of books apparently set in the same world featureing Mairlon the Magician, 3 of them.

Mairelon the Magician happened to be the Patricia Wrede book I tried after Sorcery and Cecelia. I enjoyed it. I will look for the other two after this semester is over. I have to read sixteen books in different genres this semester and already used up the fantasy one!
