Nov. 27th, 2019 07:10 pmAlyssa Cole, Can't Escape Love. I enjoyed the characters and bought the relationship, but I'd have found this novella a little frustrating if I hadn't previously read A Duke by Default; the main relationship stands alone, but the side stuff with Reggie and her sister needs the other book to work. Still, overall the story worked well enough for me that after returning the library copy I bought my own.
L. A. Hall, Favours Exchanged. Warm fuzzy Clorindaverse, with bad people getting their comeuppance and lots of updates on old friends.
On the go:
Dorothy Sayers, Mind of the Maker. Nth reread of Sayers's comparison of the creative mind and Trinitarian theology. Quote that jumped out at me on this reading: "Because we can, in this world, achieve so little, and so little perfectly, we are prepared to spend good money in order to acquire a vicarious sensation of achievement. The detective-novelist knows this, and so do the setters of puzzles."
Joan Price, Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex. What it says on the label; information and people's personal experiences of sex as they age. It's a good compilation. I'm having mixed emotions reading it for reasons that I'm not going into in an open post, but on balance it gives me hope.
