No update on my side, still reading same book as last week:

The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. I made some progress though and am near the finish.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

I'm still in my plague phase, reading the great mortality by John Kelly. Also kind of re reading Patrick O'Brian books and the new bit of the Jeff Somers Avery cates series. I do a lot of re reading.

Best plague book? 😀

I rarely do re-reads, unless it's re-reading books in a series to get ready for next book.

Probably the relevant bits of Samuel Pepys diaries. The diaries are pretty long but I'm fairly sure you can get abridged versions that cover the plague and the following great fire of London. He was living in London throughout the plague of 1665 and his diaries are a fascinating insight.
