Wednesday had electricians round
What I read
Finished No Word From Winifred.
JD Robb, Connections in Death (2019), as this (temporarily?) came down to a promotional price. I'm not sure one can say that Dallas deals with gangland violence is a nice change of pace, but it was a change of crime milieu after some of the recent ones (and it really is nice to get out of the cunning and twisted serial killer trend...)
Diane Duane, The Landlady (2019) another of the 'Tales of the Five' gearing up for the long-promised Door into Starlight. What happens after you've saved the world but there is still a lot of mess to clear up, and the importance of those ongoing maintenance and upkeep tasks.
Barbara Hambly, Prisoner of Midnight (2019) (James Asher no 6) - v good.
KJ Charles, Proper English (2019): f/f romance + Edwardian country house murder mystery. I romped through this, partly due to the fact that the power was off while the electricians did their thing and therefore there was not much else I could do.
On the go
Besides the still ongoing Charlotte Lennox bio and The Favourite, located my copy of Carolyn Heilbrun's Hamlet's Mother and Other Women: With a New Preface by the Author (1990). Great on Winifred Holtby, a bit kinder to Vera Brittain than I think she deserves - but was working from her autobiographies rather than any later explorations, and there is a faint hint of doubt. But still much to explore.
Up next
Well, there is the new PC Hodgell, By Demons Possessed, the ebooks of Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver and the most recent Laurell K Hamilton have come down to what I consider a reasonable price, and there are still the Amanda Cross short stories.
