What I’ve Read:

The Prisoner of Limnos - Penric & Desdemona #7 – Lois McMaster Bujold – The kids are getting married! Desdemona is again adorable. There’s a running theme in Bujold’s work of pragmatic discussions about relationships, and couples that really do understand each other - I really like it. This is also a very competent heist combined with meeting the in-laws.

I have read about 25% of this book in the last week, which is not a small amount of book. Robert Caro can write like no one’s business.
