Just finished my second reading of Sharon Lee & Steve Miller's Fair Trade, the 24th novel in the Liaden Universe®, and the third in the Jethri sequence. (I originally read this as an eARC in January.) An excellent book and a good continuation of the Jethri story, but leaving plenty of room for the fourth book in this sequence which is due Fall of 2023. Not nearly soon enough for me, but then authors do, occasionally, have actual lives.

Just starting a book I'm quite looking forward to: Sonia Purnell's A Woman of No Importance, the story of Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and--despite her prosthetic leg--helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.
