mostly articles from instapaper at the moment, which could be done with koreader and wallabag if I had the energy to switch to something more dig/libre.
I have a stack of dead trees that I'm working through before I get back to ebooks. It's a cycle.
@joel I'm trying out the first Nancy Drew novel, "The Secret of the Old Clock," now that it's hit the public domain. This is the Standard Ebooks (https://standardebooks.org/) edition. I've never read any of the Nancy Drew series but I do like detective novels.
I'm reading with KOReader on a hacked Kindle Voyage.
@joel Agreed. Not sure what's up with that, the text past the cover page is fine. Standard Ebooks is great.
I love old detective novels, I grew up with Sherlock Holmes. Found Lord Peter Wimsey, Nero Wolfe, Parker, and ArsĆØne Lupin at the library after that.
I didn't care much for Christie's Poirot, but I finally read the first of her Miss Marple novels last month, and it was great. I'll probably go back and give Poirot another try soon.

Interesting, I like Poirot a lot more, though I admit I've only read a couple of Miss Marple books.
I've read almost all of the Poirot novels and short stories. š

I only read the last of the Tommy and Tuppence books, which was also Agatha Christie's last novel and it was⦠not enjoyable to me at all. Probably not a fair look at the series, I admit.

(In it, it takes them half the novel to figure out who was murdered, if I remember correctly.)
"The Girl That My Mother Is Leaving Me For" by Cameron Reed. The science fiction tale of a young trans woman who is being put aside because she's had two miscarriages and the rich woman who adopted her to bear the rich woman's clone thinks it time to move on to another daughter. The first woman and the replacement become close.
@joel Aww, Iāve got a Nook, so I canāt join in. š
Iām reading book 28 of the Re:ZERO light novels. Perfect timing since the new season of the anime is now airing.
