Wednesday skived off a meeting (of a virtual kind)
What I read
Finished Riviera Gold - a bit meh, I thought, and I am not entirely there for all the RPF going on.
Another Agatha Christie, The Murder at the Vicarage (1930: Miss Marple's first outing).
Re-read of Pamela Dean, Tam Lin (1991), which I do not seem to have re-read for an unconscionable time. It seems much more distantly set in the past than when I first read it! Still lovely, though, of course.
I discovered, via one of my surviving reasons for continuing to have an LJ presence, that a) there was a new David Wishart Corvinus mystery, Dead Men's Sandals, which actually came out in March, and b) that there were two others that I had missed: Family Commitments (2017) and Going Back (2018). They are (these days) self-published and (these days) only available via Amazon (I think they used previously to be e-available on Kobo) so I guess that's why I tend not to get any notifications. (Also I am not sure that Stop You're Killing Me is quite so current with up to date information on latest publications as it was once wont.)
On the go
Dead Men's Sandals.
Up Next
Well, I was rather intrigued by this review of LOTE by Shola von Reinhold so I have that on the e-reader.
Also, I am minded to re-read Gwyneth Jones's Bold as Love sequence, and have managed to obtain copy of the first in series - these are currently only available in dead-tree format, ebooks coming from November - which was the only one I did not already have.
Plus, new Katherine Addison, The Angel of the Crows, and latest Cat Sebastian. Two Rogues Make a Right, allegedly arrive early next week.

PSA: I seem to be getting a lot of emails recently from Palgrave Macmillan/Springer offering huge discounts on academic-type books. I still have barely scratched the surface of the splurging from their massive Christmas/New Year knockdown sale, but I pass on this intelligence in case anyone is interested. Today's was actually Popular Science but I think other areas are up for grabs as well.
