Not much more than a list, this time:
Recent reading:
A Half-Built Garden, by Ruthanna Emrys -- This is an excellent first-contact novel set a few decades in our future, on an Earth dealing with and trying to remediate climate change. The narrator found the alien spaceship because it was her turn to go out in the rain and check on the local environment sensors. Not expecting anything unusual or dangerous, she brings the baby she's nursing, which the aliens think is normal and proper for someone greeting visitors. I liked this a lot.
Murder on the Links, by Agatha Christie -- an early Hercule Poirot mystery. I found the narrator somewhat annoying, as I'm oretty sure the author intended.
The Sybil in Her Grave, by Sarah Caudwell -- reread
Currently reading:
Front Page Murder, by Joyce St. Anthony -- mystery set during World War II, reading on the kindle
A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts, by Joseph M. Bagley -- what it says on the tin. I'm enjoying this so far, having just finished Part 1, "Shawmut, the Time Before Boston." I'm reading this as an ebook on my desktop computer, which has the advantage that I can see the images clearly.
