I've just chucked Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison around page 200. Lots of pretty words but not much else. Those seriously interested in Romanov history will probably want to give this a wide berth. I'm still working on Her Highness the Traitor, plus She Wore Only White , by Dörthe Binkert - a very interesting book BTW. One of those get a group of people in a small room (or ship in this case) and watch all the secrets and layers peel away.
At home with a good book and the cat...

Loved that book...but then I've loved everything I've read by Le Guin except for her early HF short stories set in a mythical eastern European country.
Finished a thriller novella by a writers' group friend -30- part of a four-part collaboration called Viral.
