? I'm actually working on a review (!) of Out on a Limb, by Hannah Bonam-Young, which I mostly loved. Also doing way too many buddy reads, including Montana Sky by Nora Roberts and A Passage to India. You know, for a change of pace. 😁

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I'm just starting Saffron Alley, by AJ Demas. The first book in the series was good, so I hope this one lives up to that.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’ve just started The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman, after finishing a fairly lacklustre period cozy mystery which shall remain unnamed.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I just finished The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Sylvia Moreno-Garcia, a Hugo nominee. A compelling read.

@romancebooks @romancelandia @willaful I’m finally reading A Restless Truth (Marske). I do love it when a book I’m looking forward to turns out amazing.

That is really the best feeling.

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks I’m listening to Alison Cochran’s “The Charm Offensive” for a book club; tonight I found myself searching “Leland Barlow” to figure out if this background character was a real pop star I was unaware of, or a fictional one (fictional: the top result is a GR thread of people discovering this exactly the same way I did.)

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks and I’m late to the party on this one, but I’m reading Sangu Mandanna’s “The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches”, because I read her two mid-grade “Kiki Kallira” books to my daughter this summer and was surprised to find this on her website when I looked for more. All three are delightful, even though “witches” isn’t really a trope I’ve been embracing otherwise. (I guess both of these romances are out of my usual zone.)

I just finished reading A SILVER MIRROR by Roberta Gellis, which TBH is the worst Gellis book I've read. Ordinarily her books are really exciting... this one was kind of a slog @willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks

@suburbanbeatnik Aw, too bad. Even the best authors have their mis-steps.

I love her Greek myths series, but her earlier work in the 1980s is very on and off for me. POV issues abound, and TBH I am so bored by standard issue medieval history. It reminds me of Alice's tedious history lesson at the beginning of Disney's Alice in Wonderland @willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks
