May

Starting the month with two listens ...

Finishing up The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe, which has proved denser than I'd like, but at a chapter a day it's manageable.

Partway through Juvenalia: A Valerius Mystery, second in an ancient Rome series. I liked the first, but this one ... jury's still out. Valerius is a closeted, married noble who's wife knows, and is fine with it for reasons of her own; the cop with whom he solves crimes is his ... main interest (reciprocated). My issue would be that the narrator's delivery makes this seem one of Rome's open secrets. That aside, I'll probably get the next one.

how the bleep is it May already! (or will be in a couple of hours!)

I finished up 2 books on the last day of april
- The Lady Under the Lake - book 3 in quest investigation series, cute lite romance, available in audible plus
- All Good People Here - totally didn't see all the twists in this one

This morning I started:
Ukulele of Death and Under the Jolly Roger: Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber

The Devil's Bible: A Cotton Malone Novel was a very good book to spend time with.
