Finished 'Star Trap' by Simon Brett which is the 3rd Charles Paris mystery. It's enjoyable but it is dated.

I've started reading "The '86 Fix" by Keith A. Pearson, which is a KU title I downloaded (signed up to KU again as it was on an offer). So far seems good, only about 12% in.

I'm also reading "The Wandering Earth" by Liu Cixin, (author of "The Three Body Problem" trilogy). It's a short story collection. I like to have one on the go, to go to when I feel like reading something discrete.

Also, I'm reading "The Odyssey", the Emily Wilson translation. I've ploughed through the Introduction and "Translator's Note" - which account for about 20% of the book! - and am into the text proper. I had bought this a while back but am reading it because it's being discussed on a podcast I follow. Actually they've been doing it for a while too but I'm trying to catch up on my backlog.

I don't normally like to have several books on the go at once but these are different genres so I shouldn't get confused.
