The Infernal Devices, Book One. Good story of magic and such in Victorian London. Prequel series to the Mortal Instruments. I don't know if I want to read any more, though.
OK, so I read the Readers Digest Condensed version, sue me! Good story, don't know why I'm prejudiced about her books. I've read two, they were both good. Maybe it's just something about Mary...
I read this a zillion years ago, and am so happy I read it again! This is classic, great science fiction, IMHO. A tourist tour "boat" becomes trapped under the dust in a lunar sea.
