Reading day. Or reading reporting day. Or readmeme day. Or something.

Finished:

Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer, and was underwhelmed by the abrupt ending. Not top-rank Heyer. (Slap-slap-kiss is not my favorite trope.)

The Oathbound by Mercedes Lackey, because I wanted undemanding fantasy adventure, and mostly got that. I may even read another book with these characters.

And a lot of Richard Scarry, several times over: Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, The Best First Book Ever, The Best Lowly Worm Book Ever, The Adventures of Lowly Worm, What Do People Do All Day?, et cetera, et cetera. (I've been leaving off books read to TBD, but these are meatier than most.)

In progress:

Freedom's Landing by Anne McCaffrey, because I wanted undemanding science fiction adventure, but the frequency of skin-crawly sexual politics is not really compatible with "undemanding." Dunno if I want to continue the series. Or finish the book.

Also, still, Eon (technically, in the sense of I haven't returned it to the library yet) and Life and Society in the Hittite World (really, in the sense of a dozen pages during a nap last week).
