Wednesday books

What are you currently reading?

I'm still working on Revelation by C. J. Sansom, but it got rather forgotten in the excitement of getting Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare, which I've eaten much too fast and thoroughly enjoyed. It's probably going to get finished this evening, and then I'll return to the Tudor lawyer mystery.

My physical read is The Medical Detective by Susan Hempel. It's about cholera and epidemiology, and I'm only a few pages in so I can't say how I feel about it yet.

What did you recently finish?

The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith, which I enjoyed way more than I expected to.

What do you think you'll read next?

I've got a couple of library books inbound, so I'll probably be reading Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins as soon as I'm done with one of my current reads.

By the way, thank you for the rec of Tessa Dare, I read Romancing the Duke in a single gulp on New Year's Day, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm delighted to hear that Say Yes to the Marquess is good, too. I shall look forward to that after I finish being depressed by The Price of Salt.

Eee, I'm so glad you liked it! Say Yes to the Marequess got finished on my lunchbreak, almost resulting in me getting back to the desk late. It was thoroughly enjoyable, except for the bit where it's now going to be ages before there are more in the series.

So, er, is The Price of Salt something I'm best skipping? Or is it depressing in a good way?

To be fair, I'm less than half the way through it, and finding it really good so far, I'm just working on the assumption that anything with canon f/f that was published in 1952 is going to end in tears. So, er, I'll get back to you on that one.

That is probably a good assumption :-( I'll wait on your reaction before putting it on my wishlist.

To my lasting surprise and delight, it wasn't depressing at all! It was actually excellent, if a little slow to begin with, and I'd highly recommend it.

Ooh, with that recommendation, it's gone right onto my wishlist at the top!
