I got an audiobook on CD from Goodwill and listened to it over the weekend. It was Saxons, Vikings, and Celts by Bryan Sykes. I recognized him from Before the Dawn, which he didn't write but was mentioned/interviewed in/a source for. I love genetics. It might be fun but expensive to have my MDNA analyzed. I do know it is Irish but I wonder which of the seven or eight "daughters of Eve" it falls into. Not bad for $1.99, though basically just a bit of expansion on his chapter in Before the Dawn.
I just finished listening to Vaclav & Lena by Haley Tanner as an eAudio loan from the public library. I am normally not into contemporary literary fiction but I really enjoyed this tale of 2 Russian immigrant childhood sweethearts and the girl's search for the truth about her family.
I still need to finish Deathless by Cathrynne Valente. I am really on a Russian kick, apparently. It is excellent but I have been kind of busy, stressed, and distracted so it has been hard to sit down and read.
Also, it is a pBook from the library and I forgot to bring it with me but I did bring my eReader which has Barbara Hambly's Those Who Hunt the Night on it. I read about 18 pages of that yesterday and it seems like I will really enjoy and such a deal at 99 cents. I loved her Benjamin January books (she really did her NOLA research on those).
