Wednesday is a bit meh, but does at least have new electrical sockets
What I read
I am definitely in a bit of a meh phase via-a-vis reading at the moment, in which I start things and think that perhaps I should not be reading these just now, because I will very likely enjoy them more at some other time.
So what I have been reading - Diane Duane, Young Wizards 30 Day OTP (Days 1-17), picked up as a freebie along with various offers on her site.
Agatha Christie, Taken at the Flood (1948), At Bertram's Hotel (1965), Lord Edgware Dies (1933).
Zen Cho, The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo (2012), which I had been meaning to re-read for some while.
Winifred Peck, Bewildering Cares (1940). Vicar's wife in a Midland town,diary of a month of her life at a time of stress in the parish shortly after the outbreak of war. We are of the opinion that the blurb's invocation of EM Delafield is practically actionable under the Trades Description Act. It had its moments, but in no wise did it recall The Provincial Lady. As opposed to that much wider genre of nice middle class lady, usually defined by husband's occupation, in stressed circs, bravely muddling through, but with more of a religious bent than these usually manifest.
On the go
I was moved to pull out my old paperback copy of Katharine Eliska Kimbriel's Fires of Nuala (1988) by a mention from
sartorias that this and the 2 sequels and a new fourth in the series are being issued by Bookview Cafe (as by Cat Kimbriel). I'm not sure it's quite meshing with my meh mood.
Up next
Ardently awaiting the new KJ Charles coming next week, but apart from that...
