What I'm reading
What are you currently reading?
Still just at the start of Quiet - The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. I've also just started The Husband Hunt by Lynsay Sands. The back blurb really intrigued me but I'm at page 40 and still not entirely sure about it.
What did you recently finish reading?
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold. It turned out like I thought it would - a very enjoyable read but not quite as loveable (for me anyway) due to the lack of Lady Alys. That said I did adore Vorlynkin and would love to read some fic about him set after the book.
Crossed Blades by Kelly McCullough. I utterly loved it. There really are no other words for it. The characters and relationships are explored and developed more thoroughly this book, the worldbuilding is slowly expanding, and I really couldn't put the book down. I'm bouncing at the wait for the next in the series. Whyyyyy can't it be out now?????????
The Ugly Duchess by Eloisa James. I adored Theo, and for the first three quarters or so of the book I didn't want to put it down. I even thought it was shaping up nicely enough to put on my to buy list. Then the ending happened. It was far too rushed, and I had a real problem with James essentially trapping Theo in the house with little support. I don't think I would have finished it had I not fallen in love with Theo, and James has enough ability that I still wanted to read to the end despite hating it. I am really, really disappointed in how it turned out
What do you think you’ll read next?
If I'm still on a regency kick, then Unbuttoning Miss Hardwick by Deb Marlowe. Possibly Believing the Lie by Elizabeth George if I finish that.
