Read a couple of romance novels: a 1997 "regency" and a contemporary from 1961 with a character probably intended to be read as gay, which I wasn't expecting. The first was better than that author's usual standard in several ways, while the second was more downbeat than I expected albeit with three happy couples and a family reunion at the end.
Second dnf of 2025 at page 75 of 300.
Now halfway through Britannia Mews by Margery Sharp, 1946, a strangely Dickensian novel unlike the author's other more comedic work. I wasn't in the mood for this but it is good.
ETA: I was mining a vein of golden reads earlier this year but now I keep picking the wrong books: not bad books, just unsuited to my current mood (whatever that might be, lol).
