One more post before I go to bed

I find myself in need of things-to-read recs.

I cannot pay money for anything so they either need to be free on the internet or else available as ebooks from the NYPL or the Brooklyn Public Library.

Fanfics also okay. Looking at another long day tomorrow, and I can never have enough things to read.

Some of what I've been enjoying in the last year or so, which might be available as ebooks from one of those libraries:

* Louise Penny's series of mystery novels starring Inspector Gamache of the Quebec Surete: there are some plot threads between books, but I read the 14th, I think it was (All the Devils Are Here) first, and then went back to the beginning of the series. (Content warning: the most recent, The Madness of Crowds, is partly the author grappling with the pandemic, very well but in ways that might be stressful (in part because of some differences in how things played out in 2021 and 2922).

* Celia Lake's romance novels set in a slightly alternate UK, with magic (with a more plausible approach to how a magical community might exist in a mostly non-magical world than Harry Potter). Some of those are available as ebooks from the Boston Public Library, but it may be relevant that the author lives in the Boston area).

* I've been rereading Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest books

* Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky (the first two Tiffany Aching novels)
