Merit is 25% done with The Quiche of Death (Agatha Raisin, #1)

I know this was published in the 90s and set vaguely then, but... all the talk about the property market being flat really does age it more than anything else.

Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5)

Merit is reading The A.I. Who Loved Me

After some dense fantasy reads, I thought a fluffy romance would be a great interlude... "He doesn't say anything, but the intensity of his focus wraps around me and tightens, like the Anaconda body-shaping blankets that are supposed to sculpt a perfect hourglass figure as you sleep, but have crushed several people to death.

Still good, though.

"...and as she stood for the dressmakers to put her in the silks of a young woman with pubic hair who would have to learn how to use a voideur when she excused herself to pee. The voideur, which looks like a gravy boat..."

What.
