Weekend reading roundup

How did your weekend reading go? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it?

amazingly, yes. I read the 1944 detective novel I'd planned to read, The Keys by Patricia Wentworth. I thought the writing part was a bit of a cheat, because the author endowed the detective with the awesome ability to compel every single person she interviewed to tell the truth. But it was great to read as a wartime artefact, with hints about how to spin out the food ration, and keeping a close watch on dodgy spy-style behaviour, and insights into the culture of the times.
I also obsessively read updates and analysis of the election.

Congratulations on reading the novel!

The election looks like it was very tense indeed, and the ramifications of the outcome, uncertain.
