Entirely typically, my recent weekend up north involved being chased across a road by a homicidal goose, and my octogenarian father and I letting off his birthday fireworks and then having to sprint up the garden as the fuses turned out to be rather shorter than expected...

Good Man Friday: 12th in the Benjamin January series by Barbara Hambly, and which finds Ben (plus his half-sister, his niece, his half-sister's lover and his half-sister's lover's wife) in Washington DC investigating a disappearance. I enjoyed this one a lot, particularly the racial politics around 'town ball ( Read more... )

I just gave up on Guardians of the Galaxy: Angela because the art was disappointingly male-gazey.

Before that I read a fun mystery novel from the first decade of the twentieth century called The Circular Staircase. The author is Mary Roberts Rinehart; apparently she gets compared to Agatha Christie a lot, but I ( Read more... )

Blood of Tyrants by Naomi Novik and I'm enjoying it SO MUCH.

What are you currently reading?
Grimspace by Ann Aguirre. It's a fun sci-fi novel about a traumatised grimspace (think warp speed in Star Trek) navigator who is busted out of prison after a terrible accident and goes on the run with a bunch of space outlaws. It features soul-bonding, the accidental adoption of an alien baby, the beasties from Pitch ( Read more... )

I'm struggling through The Drowned World by J.G Ballard. It's set in a post-apocalyptic flooded London, which sounds like it should be exciting, but it's actually pretty dreary. The characters are all ( Read more... )

Maurice by E.M Forster, which is interesting as a gay classic but hard to like. I have an overwhelming sense of how fucked the main characters were by the time and society they were living in, but also a ( Read more... )

I'm halfway through Lady Knight by L.J Baker which is about a lesbian knight in a medieval-esque world who is falling in (reciprocated) love with a widow. Oh, and there's a priestess who's trying to stir ( Read more... )

I'm dipping in and out of How Parliament Works by Robert Rogers and Rhodri Walters. And I'm stalled halfway through Freakangels Volume One. It feels daft to have run to a halt partway into a graphic novel ( Read more... )
