Dreaming Spies by Laurie R. King - this series is really declining in quality. This is the last one she gets out of me. They are primarily my light car listening, but my patience is wearing thin.
She lost me back when her wunderkind achieved native level fluency in Arabic in less than 2 weeks then did the same with Hindi (in which her howlers were noticeable even to my far-from-L1 level eyes)

I started reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler in mid-December. It's set in a dystopic 2024/2025 (at least the parts I've read) and has fires in California (past tense for them, but...), awful "leaders", and just a breakdown of society. I've dabbled but mostly have been avoiding it because, even though it is exaggerated, it's a little too on the nose right now, so I'm going to try something else.

I don't need to read anything dystopian, all I have to do is turn on the news. No way I'm going to read a dystopian novel.

I've just starte on When I was Old by Georges Simenon, my tenth and final book for the 2025 Reads The World Challenge at the Storygraph. I was struck by this passage near the very beginning:

Quote:
I’m not a writer. I’m a novelist. And the novelist does not know the joy of writing.
I have not yet been able to get into any Maigret books I've tried, but these musings are interesting.
