Recent reading:
Aftermarket Afterlife, by Seanan McGuire: the most recent Incryptid book. Contains significant spoilers for events earlier in the series, including but not limited to the immediately-previous Spelunking through Bedlam
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels, by India Holton, a light, odd fantasy romance novel set in an alternate England during Queen Victoria's reign
Letters to Half-Moon Street, by Sarah Wallace, M/M romance set in an alternate past, where same-sex relationships are accepted as a matter of course, but one of the main characters' family is pushing him to get married, offering to send him a list of suitable women, or one of suitable men.
The Sybil in Her Grave, by Sarah Caudwell, another read-aloud. This one turned unexpectedly dark near the end, after several plausible murder suspects were ruled out. Cattitude kept asserting, as the story went along, that "Rodrigo is innocent." [Rodrigo is a vulture, and did not in fact kill anyone.]
Lyorn, by Steven Brust, the most recent Vlad Taltos (Jhereg) book. This one contains spoilers for many of the previous volumes. Much of the book takes place in a theater, and the text is full of lyrics filking songs from musicals. I did find myself thinking "Mike [Ford] did it better" (in How Much for Just the Planet?); the similarity may be part of why Brust dedicated this book to him.
I would recommend all of these except "The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels," with the notes about
Currently reading: Well, I've been partway through _The Rediscovery of America_ for weeks, and keep not picking it up again.
