Just been reading

Investigations and Aquisitions by Lori (who is on lj as ljs).

It's brilliant. Giles and Anya living in England working as private investigators and 'aquisitors?' but also working for MI5 so there are Spooks overlaps. Beautifully written in the style of a lot of authors from the 50s or 60s - Dorothy L Sayers et al.

I also love the way Lori writes Giles Anya - she gets the romance pitched perfectly, and the two characters' personalities bring out the better points of each other. Very good!

Other than that, been reading a paper about the impacts of Katrina - 1800 dead, and some people likely to never return, but only some of the lessons have been learned from. Am busy researching a paper at the moment so don't have much LJ reading time!
