What I Just Finished Reading
We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. I can't decide if I liked this or not. I couldn't get through the Thursday Murder Club because I didn't like the characters and wasn't interested in the murder. In this one I like the characters and would absolute be up for reading more with them in, but wasn't that interested in the murder. And found the short chapters cutting between characters made it hard to get into.

Clean Point by Meg Jones. This was awful. I thought it was a tennis romance, but then read the preview and thought it was an interesting tennis story about drugs and parents and coaches. That part of the story was interesting and would have been better if it had been the main part of the story. Sadly most of it was about the two main characters spending all their time thinking about each other's legs, which was dull and predictable. I kept reading for the tennis aspect and whether it was all going to end up happy or more realistic. I could have not bothered.

What I'm Currently Reading
Triangle: Imzadi II by Peter David. My Unconventional Courtship fic is set during this book. I skim-read bits when I started, but then my writing stalled. I finally have an idea for the next bit (if not the ending) and I thought reading this book would help me actually write it.

What I'm Reading Next
Is This Working? by Charlie Colenutt. A library hold that's just come in.

Hopefully the third Richard Osman book will have likable characters and a good murder.

The tennis book should have said it was a leg book and not a tennis one!

It's worth a try.

It really should. The characters were all about how much they loved each other, but it felt more like they fancied each other legs and there was nothing more to the relationship than that.

Yeah, if they loved each other they should like more than a pair of legs. I hope the UC reading gives you some more ideas!

Oh, dear; when they should have been thinking about tennis!

Quite literally, given that they were playing tennis at the time! (Only practising, but still)
