A most enjoyable tale from across the pond.

Then I read A Tale of Comfortable Chairs by Alexander McCall Smith. The 23rd (!) in his No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. More soap opera than mystery now, but quite fun. There looks to be a bit of foreshadowing of future developments. I'll have to wait for later books to see if my guess is right!

Next up: The Phantom of the Temple by Rovert Van Gulik. The 13th in his Judge Dee series, set in a mythical China.

Which was the expected fun in a fictionalised Ancient China.

Next up: What If… Wanda Maximoff and Peter Parker Were Siblings by Seanan McGuire.

An alternate universe superheroes book. Which I got because of the author.

What If? is an old series concept at Marvel. Basically, they speculate on how things would have progressed if something changed (such as "What if Spider-man joined the Fantastic Four?"

They also had a special named What the? where they posit funny ideas. One of them was "What if all of the members of the Avengers remained Avengers? (there were so many members that they couldn't function effectively because they got in each others way). Another one was "What if Wonder Man was a woman?" (it showed a warning letter from their Distinguished Competition).

Finished a self-published freebie from Prime Reading, A Cat's Guide to Bonding with Dragons by Chris Behrsin.

Fun quick read. Seemed juvenile. Interesting interactions but I'm not sure that is how a cat really thinks. <LOL> The strange actions from the world's rulers and plot holes leave me with D+ two-star rating.

Next, another Prime Read, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. I'm 20% in and it's not working for me so far.
