Finished Tantalus' Children: Niobe and Pelops by Victoria Grossack; an enjoyable read in line with our monthly topic (not Troy, but Bronze Age.) Also reading God, No! by Penn Jillette, but might set it aside. I usually like humorous memoirs, but I'm finding this one overbearing.

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.

Finished Bloody Field at Shrewsbury, which is was ok. 362 pages for one battle-weeeee.

Reading Good King Harry by Denise Giardina. It was a used book find and although it has extensive water damage, it's still in pretty good shape.

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.
