    The Miles Grant and Stewart Grant detective novels are interesting, in that they seem to be doing a "case worthy of a book" per year, and after 24 years, Miles retires and Stewart takes over as detective.

    The number of novels per month is going up. It used to hover around nine: two per week, with one in the partial week. But I've been reading some shorter books lately, which has boosted the number. Novellas remain rare.

    Finally finished all the stories in Pioneering Women of Science Fiction, Christopher Broschell's collection of stories from the 1940s and 1950s.

  2. Hello and I hope you are all having a #happysunday doing whatever floats your boat! I shall be reading again for most of the day, I’m now onto The Falcon by Isabella Maldonado. I finished Book of Night by Holly Black last night so I’ll be working on that review later! I’ve just bought a couple of book logs to try out, to see if it helps me with my blog reviews…only trouble is that there isn’t enough room for my notes, so I’m having to supplement it with extra sheets of paper clipped in!! Anyone else have that issue with their book logs? Do you even use them? Let me know in the comments below!

    Have a great #sunday…hope your #monday won’t be too brutal!

    💜
