Location: UK		As ever I enjoyed the latest of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series.Archangel's Viper,light popcorn read,but good fun and refreshing after the bleak Nora Roberts Year One.
I am also having fun with Ben Aaronovitch's Lies Sleeping,I love the Rivers of London series.
As for the Yiddish Policemens'Union I am battling through it,wishing I had a Yiddish dictionary and a greater cultural connection with this alternate world where the Jewish homeland (temporarily,what else with the wandering people?) is in Alaska after the Israelis lost against the Arabs in 1948!. Loved the first half which was mostly a mystery story hardboiled style,but I am much less enamored of the latter sections with a preposterous sub plot about Jerusalem which I am finding a bit outre.the last 50 pages are going to finally unveil the murderer,and I think I can see where its going,but this whole submersion in the jewish themes is a bit too much for me. Looking forward to finishing it and claiming my 62/67 Hugo winner!
But for now I am reading a vintage crime novel and a charming 1956 Newbery medal winner
