General Blahs but also Reading 'n Stuff
Feb. 16th, 2022 11:10 am Out of the huge pile of books that I brought home from the library last week, I am 284 pages into Winter's Orbit. by Everina Maxwell, which I am enjoying so far. It's interesting that it's the fiction book that I picked up following on The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk, since this one also has a vaguely Jane Austin-esque vibe to it. The two main characters in Winter's Orbit are thrust together due to an arranged political marriage. The twist here is that they are both dudes, but I would not necessarily call this a very queer book? The characters are gay but not transgressive, since it's all good, in terms of acceptance and a vaguely implied sense that everyone is bi. Which is fine? It's exactly what I'm in the mood for, which, frankly, is nothing strenuous.
There's a mystery plot happening in the background, but I'm kind of in it for the romance, so mileage may vary.
Otherwise, I am just kind of in a foul mood today. The day did not start well and is not currently showing much sign of improvement. It's also nothing so terrible that I feel it worth complaining about? So, generally, just a lot of BLAH.
What have you been reading? Anything skiffy or fun?
