I’ve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved sequence generation and sports score analysis. (Note that this ends today.) Only a few languages this time, since I was doing other things over Christmas.
2021 historical thriller, sixth of its series. Veronica and Stoker are specifically not asked to look into the suspicious death of an English female climber in a Ruritanian principality. Not that that's going to stop them.
2023 SF, second of a loose series. Elif Moora hosts the interview vlog The Human Eye, introducing the rest of Universal Society to the human viewpoint. Then her latest subject proves intriguing, not to mention involved in other things…
1953 Napoleonic naval fiction, eighth written and fifth by internal chronology. Hornblower takes command of a sloop of war, the smallest ship in the fleet that rates a full captain, and proceeds about the Mediterranean.
1949 Regency romance. Arabella Tallant is to go to London to make a brilliant match, and thereby provide for the rest of her family (her mother effectively left Society to marry a poor vicar). When the chaise breaks down en route, she has to take shelter at a hunting-box; and overhearing her host disparaging yet another young lady throwing herself at his wealth, she reinvents herself as a great heiress who has no interest in Mr Beaumaris at all.
Back to the boardgame café.
2012 contemporary police mystery, fifth in Cleeves' Vera Stanhope series. One of Vera's neighbours has vanished from her house, so Vera tracks her down… to a writing retreat, just in time for the discovery of the body.
I’ve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved adding thousands separators and testing arrays. (Note that this ends today.)
