Book round-up: August and September 2021

Lockdown half-way through August proved once again to be MURDER on my fiction brain but I was rescued unexpectedly by a 1980s portal fantasy, and also got a lot of reading done during travel/a short holiday the week before Level 4 hit us. Unfortunately some of that travel was to Auckland where the outbreak has been centred, and I then developed a cold immediately on getting back, which meant I got to spend the first week of lockdown at home and miserable, in possession of a negative COVID-19 test, but still waiting nervously to see if anywhere I’d been came up as a Location of Interest. (It didn’t and the outbreak is slowly, slowly subsiding, because fucking Delta, but: BAH.)
