Tuesday reading
• What did you recently finish reading?
A bunch of rereads while I was feeling stressed and unwell recently: all three Howl's Moving Castle books (first is still easily the best), Connie Willis' Bellwether (fine, but fluffy) and Lincoln's Dreams (tied with To Say Nothing of the Dog for my favorite Willis).
Sharon Shinn, Reader and Raelynx and Fortune and Fate, which I did indeed (thank you,
jinian) like better than the first three. I did have some regret for the heteronormativity: I think the last book would have been even better with Wen/Karryn instead of Wen/Jasper, and that seemed as though it would have flowed really well from the beginning where Wen rescues Karryn.
D.E. Stevenson, The Two Mrs. Abbotts: sadly, like the second book, it still didn't live up to Miss Buncle's Book. Reasonably fun, though.
Sherry Thomas, The Luckiest Lady in London: (Is it just me, or is that a terrible title?) I think I liked this the best of all the Sherry Thomas I've read. There was angst and misunderstanding, but it felt believable, and I loved both the main characters.
• What are you currently reading?
Just about to start Three Weeks, by Elinor Glyn, and also reading the Tiptree bio by Julie Phillips, which I got for my birthday.
