What great books did you hear about / discover this past week?

I didn't think that I would have any FINDS this week since I was finishing one trip (Maine) and taking a few days on another, but I managed to get to the Library so here are my Finds of the week.

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
The Quilter's Legacy by Jennifer Chiaverini
