Wednesday comments, quite flat, South Dakota, if not in the Norfolk class*
What I read
Mostly a lot of comfort re-reads in snippets, the situation being not terribly conducive to sustained reading.
I started The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin by Colette Moody (2009), put it aside to read something else, and have not felt moved to pick it up again, I think this is a DNF. An f/f piratical romp might be good fun but this fell into that category of things which ought to be self-indulgent treats and miss the mark. Might be me and my irk at the combination of utter cliched aarrrrggh-speak-like-a-pirate-day-speak and anachronistic language. I am not even sure how I acquired this.
T Kingfisher, Clockwork Boys (2017), which I found somewhat retro and reminiscent of fantasies I was reading Back When, even to the gender imbalance in the questing party, which may be down to the origins of the tale described in an appendix. However, I have gone and acquired the sequel...
On the go
Melissa Scott, Mighty Good Road (1990), which I read ages ago but acquired an e-copy of as part of a bundle and could not remember much about except the social mores that had people being fined for swearing in public places.
Up next
Probably T Kingfisher The Wonder Engine (2018) or Melissa Scott Trouble and Her Friends (1994) which was also in the bundle and which I read a long time ago
*Though that may just be the parts I have lately traversed: are there not the Black Hills hymned by the late Doris Day as Calamity Jane? This entry was originally posted at https://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2930048.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
