Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: being the… (1988)▾LibraryThing recommendations 12 2 Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke (fyrefly98, ThatArtGirl)fyrefly98: Both have the same "Jane-Austen-meets-Harry-Potter" vibe to them; "Jonathan Strange" is denser and more grown-up, while "Sorcery & Cecelia" is funnier and more of a romp. 10 0 Mairelon the Magician by Patricia C. Wrede (infiniteletters) 8 0 Magician's Ward by Patricia C. Wrede (amberwitch) 6 1 Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal (trollsdotter) 5 2 To Say Nothing of the Dog; or, How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump at Last by Connie Willis (Pagemistress) 3 0 Flora Segunda by Ysabeau S. Wilce (foggidawn) 4 1 Arabella by Georgette Heyer (allisongryski)allisongryski: Let me preface this recommendation by acknowledging that Arabella does not have the fantasy element of Sorcery & Cecilia. However, I think many readers of S & C will enjoy this excellently written Regency story, following the impetuous, charming Arabella when she goes to London for the Season. There is some light romance, similar in tone to that in S & C, but the story is more focused on the characters and the humour in their interactions and misadventures.… (more) 3 1 Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis (keristars)keristars: These are somewhat similar - a Regency-era girl discovers that she has magic ability by accident and then gets into a bit of an adventure as a result. S&C is more of a mystery/romance/adventure while Kat is a do-gooder Emma type. In my biased opinion, the Burgis book is far and away the better of the two, but if you liked one, you're likely to enjoy the other.… (more) 3 1 Freedom and Necessity by Steven Brust (puddleshark) 3 2 The Magicians and Mrs. Quent by Galen Beckett (Anonymous user, MyriadBooks)MyriadBooks: For commonplace magic and properly brought-up young Englishwomen. 1 0 Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle (Caramellunacy)Caramellunacy: A similar fun historical fantasy feel. Bewitching Season has twins Persephone & Penelope Leland using their (secret) magical skills to protect the teenaged princess Victoria from a dastardly magical plot. 0 0 Dark Mirror by M.J. Putney (foggidawn) 0 0 The Chocolatier's Wife by Cindy Lynn Speer (MyriadBooks)MyriadBooks: For fans of epistolary elements. 0 0 Star Well by Alexei Panshin (joiedelivre)joiedelivre: Another fantasy of manners, but set in an interplanetary milieu. 0 1 The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley (Phantasma) 1 2 Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder (missmaddie)missmaddie: Both books contain letter correspondence, and they also both have supernatural/fantasy elements. Likable girls as the main characters. 1 3 A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (khuggard) 0 4 The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (missmaddie)

Dearest Kate, It is dreadfully flat here since you have been gone, and it only makes it worse to imagine all the things I shall be missing.  | |

▾Book descriptions Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 015205300X, Paperback)
A great deal is happening in London and the country this season. For starters, there's the witch who tried to poison Kate at the Royal College of Wizards. There's also the man who seems to be spying on Cecelia. (Though he's not doing a very good job of it--so just what are his intentions?) And then there's Oliver. Ever since he was turned into a tree, he hasn't bothered to tell anyone where he is. Clearly, magic is a deadly and dangerous business. And the girls might be in fear for their lives . . . if only they weren't having so much fun!
