Coffee Table: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. I still enjoy when I remember to read parts of this book, but I’m feeling less and less invested in the story. I’ve been advised to stop reading other books and concentrate on this one if I want to make it to the end, which sounds like good advice.
Kindle: Delia’s Shadow by Jaime Lee Moyer, a supernatural crime novel I received as a review copy from Tor Books.
Audiobook: Searching for Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. We’re onto book two! Mr. DitL is a big fan of these (as am I, but I already knew that. They’re new to him.)
