I'm currently reading:
  • Audiobook - Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (Garnett translation)
  • DTB - Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
  • Ebook - The Grand Banks Cafe by Georges Simenon (Maigret #9)

I'm also making my way through my 22 volumes of the collected Fables comic book by Bill Willingham since the comic series returned this month.

Started The Shadow series with The Living Shadow by Grant.

I enjoyed it but am wondering if I'll have to space these farther apart than my normal rotation. Pulp, for me, is enjoyable but needs more time between reads than other genres.

There were several beautiful moments here, however, the coincidences in the storyline and obvious resolution brought this down a grade. Some originality and interesting characters. Plenty of action and scary scenes. Enjoyable. Rated C+ [3 stars].

Next, Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K. J. Parker/Tom Holt.

It was OK, but I didn't find it compelling. It definitely made better TV, IMO.

Next up: The Books of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. I'll only be reading the non-novel bits, as I don't want to do an Earthsea re-read just now, but I do want to read the shorter items.

Just finished up Dan Willis's latest Arcane Casebook book, Hostile Takeover. It was just as good as the previous 7 books in the series

The cover alone practically makes it worth a read!

All six books and some smaller items and a previously unpublished story.

2/5 at Storygraph for Ellery Queen's "The French Powder Mystery" which is really TWO mysteries: 1. How did Richard Queen rise to his rank when he needed his son to do ALL his thinking for him AND spell out said thinking out loud & 2. how did he resist the urge to murder his insufferably superior son?

Thanks. I knew she had written some more after Tehanu but I didn't realize it was 2 more plus some.

I gave up on Ellery Queen after my third try. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

So, wait, they're always like that?? My one and only foray into Ellery Queen is a short story (The Adventure of the Dauphin's Doll from The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries anthology) and I had almost exactly the same thoughts about father and son! But the mystery itself was quite good.

I've only just started the series. I'm not planning to read them all, but I wanted to read the first 2-3 to get to know the core characters. The two that have been recommended to me by Martin Edwards are Calamity Town and Ten Days Wonder, so after I've read book 3, I'll try those two. If all five are the same, that will be the end of my Queen experiment.

In happier news, Sayers' Unnatural Death was An EXCELLENT read! A true psychopath as the villain and Parker proving to be a very effective and useful Watson. 4.5/5 for me at The Storygraph. Clumsy misquotes a bit annoying, and of course racist and xenophobic attitudes true to the time in which the book was written. It was quite refreshing to see those very attitudes being deliberately exploited by the villain, which could be read a hint from Sayers that she did not fully share those views. Either way a very engaging story with Wimsey less clownish and on the back foot for most of the story
