If you found this book in the New Age section of your local bookstore, it was grossly misshelved, and you should put it down at once. If you found it while browsing Gardening, or Boats & Ships, it was also misshelved, but you might enjoy it anyway.
His Majesty's Dragon, Naomi Novik (x2)
She laughed and stepped back to the edge of the field as Temeraire put Laurence up, and stood watching them, shading her eyes with one hand, as they drove up into the air; a small figure, vanishing with every beat of the great wings, and then the gardens and the towers of the house rolled away behind the curve of a hill.
X, Sue Grafton
Let's skip the talk about my morning jog, which felt the same as it always did.

May clapped her hand over her mouth to keep in her scream.
The Shattering, Karen Healey

"Oh, yes, you do," Keri said. "You married me behind the bike sheds when we were seven. We exchanged gummy rings. Does that mean nothing to you? You're a cheating whore, Stardust, and I want a divorce."
Redshirts, John Scalzi
