...which means that my arm is slightly cramped.
When Sorrows Come, Seanan McGuire. At this point in the series, the titles of the Toby Daye books don't seem to have too much to do with the content -- in particular, despite a very serious title, this one is generally cheerful fluff, with some assassins to keep things exciting, but really, you're here for Toby's wedding.
Jonathan Strange et Mr. Norrell, Susanna Clarke, translated by Isabelle Delord-Philippe (whose name I have to look up every time I post about this). I'll probably be posting about this for a while, though I am a good way into the story -- Strange is in Portugal with Wellington now.
Upcoming reading: There's a book club on The Traitor Baru Cormorant on Monday, so maybe I should reread it, or just show up without rereading. I have also added to my French to-read queue Complots mathématiques a Princeton, by Claudine Montel. The author's father is a grand old man of mathematics (who I met when he visited Princeton), so when I found out that she'd written a thriller about the murder of a mathematician, I got curious, and the sample was interesting enough to get me to buy the ebook from the French publisher.

osprey_archer mentioned Ellen Raskin in her last post, so I have been having Ellen Raskin feels --Leon, I mean Noel and The Tattooed Potato are the two of her books that get me in the feels, but I'm unlikely to act on them right now.
