Audiobooks Amelia Peabody Lion in the Valley -- absolutely absurd, entirely satisfactory. This book contains possibly the funniest scenes in the entire series.

Susan Cooper The Dark Is Rising and Over Sea Under Stone and Greenwitch and The Grey King - I started listening to The Dark Is Rising on the solstice and then the audiobook reader was so good I started on the others. They've changed the reader for The Grey King, I think to be sure of having a Welsh speaker.

Akala Natives -- this was all as good as the first bit. I'm extremely glad I listened to the audiobook read in his voice, because a lot of the points would have been MUCH less impactful in my white middle class inner voice.

The Viscount and the Thief by Emma Orchard -- started but not much, things got emotionally fraught here halfway through December and many things became difficult and complicated.

Short Stories in all formats I must have read some but don't have a note of them. Hm.

Ebooks: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer. I know I've read this before but I never reread it and now I'm realising why. It's a slog. She hasn't found her voice or something. Trying to put the prose on the time period isn't really working. I'm irritated by it more than anything else. Luckily the last third or so is less sloughlike and I finished it in a fairly good mood, but I don't think I'll ever seek it out.
