The Lucky Galah (only just started but the narrator is the galah of the title, a bird with attitude). Debut novel for an Australian author and she's done good.

Rereading Kinsey Milhone mysteries, starting with A is for Alibi.

But if there's a new book in the Vorkosigan saga (as I read on one of the forums), will probably buy that and read it in one gulp.

Have a whole shelf of other unread books looking at me. Just not in the mood - one day.

It's a novella - easily read in one gulp - unless you're out shopping - I did get a large part read while eating lunch. 

It wasn't quite as engrossing as Cryoburn or even my first exposure to the Vorkosigan's world (The Warrior's Apprentice) - but it was new Vorkosigan and there were a couple of references that really rang in my memory...you'll probably guess them when you see them...references to how someone was referred to in their youth...if you've read the rest, you'll know it when you see it.  If not - well, go read the rest - it's well worth it!

One of the books is a homage to Georgette Heyer's "Regency Romances" and etiquette plays an important part in the plot - which made it all the more delicious - A Civil Campaign.  Sigh - it ends in more than one engagement and one marriage - it was fun.
