\"In<\/a>I didn’t read quite as much as I have been, but sadly, it wasn’t because I was doing other fun things. I was just too scattered to focus, and have several books I was determined to finish, even thought they weren’t working for me.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there were some good books in there!<\/p>\n

After four years, I thought that Jane Steen<\/a>‘s Lady Helena series wasn’t going to have another entry, but there was one, and I was delighted by it!<\/p>\n

I started (and finished) Amy Lane<\/a>s Hedge Witches Lonely Heart Club, which had a world building that pulled me in and kept me thinking. I had issues with a couple of things, but mostly I wanted to know what happened, and so I couldn’t stop reading.<\/p>\n

I found Sadie Bosque’s An Agreement with the Soldier<\/em><\/a> fascinating, because it it had so many bits that I thought were going to follow the well-worn trope path, but then: THEY TALKED! They used their words and talked! And it was marvelous!<\/p>\n

And apparently I’m reading non-fiction again. I highly recommend No Man\u2019s Land: The Trailblazing Women Who Ran Britain\u2019s Most Extraordinary Military Hospital During World War I<\/em><\/a>, because I remain gobsmacked this is something I knew nothing about.<\/p>\n
