Just read

Should list these before I return them to the library:
Two Regency mysteries by Sheri Cobb South: In Milady's Chamber and A Dead Bore.
I like these a lot; fun, light reads, very much in period, rated only PG, I would say. I am looking for more of her books to read.

An Accomplished Woman by Jude Morgan, a Austen-styled regency romance, also very good and amusing. I am also reading more of her.


Hangman Blind by Cassandra Clark, which is the start of a medieval mystery series featuring Sister Hildegard, a rich widow turned nun who wants to establish her own abbey. Engrossing; I look forward to forthcoming books.

Cybele's Secret by Juliet Marillier, a sequel of sorts to her YA novel Wildwood Dancing. I like Marillier's writng very much; I think I've read all her books. So it's a shock to read on her blog that she's undergoing chemo for breast cancer. I very much hope for her recovery to complete health.

Fast Ships, Black Sails, a collection of pirate-themed fantasy stories edited by Ann & Jeff Vandermeer. I didn't like the stories much.

Demon's Delight, a collection of 4 paranormal romance novellettes; I borrowed it for the Yama "demon" story by Emma Holly. The MaryJanice Davidson story in it was also fun.
