snugglekittyLast week, I read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chienne_folle's suggestion, The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax. I liked it a lot. My only complaint is that it was too short. Well, and there are some things that I found hard to believe that a senior who wasn't physically active would be capable of, but then, we do often surprise ourselves. Four stars, and I was laughing aloud while reading it.
This week, I read Moon's Web by CT Adams and Cathy Clamp, sequel to Hunter's Moon. I liked the first one better, but still pretty good. The revealing of the villain towards the end was... disappointing. I had better plots dreamed up in my head by that point. Still, it was engaging and enjoyable. I'm glad they were able to make it good for a second book. We'll have to see how the third turns out. Three and half stars.
I'm returning to the library Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife. I started out thinking, "How charming! It's about a rat that lives in a used bookstore and loves to read!" But it was very bleak and dragged on a lot and I decided not to finish it. It wasn't charming after all.
I'm also returning to the library Back from the Dead: One Woman's Search for the Men Who Walked Off America's Death Row, for much the same reasons. I thought it would be heartwarming, or at least hopeful, but it was bleak bleak bleak.
Currently in progress: Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear - an unusual read from the prolific author of the Hammered series, as well as The Price of Blood and Honor by Elizabeth Wiley, which I'm having a hard time getting into.
