So What Are you Reading?: Generations

Just started The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire.

What? Some kind of bodice-ripper?

Meanwhile, I'm now between Inferno and Purgatorio, in the Divine Comedy.

Ha, maybe! Is that what they're called? The first time I googled the author her Instagram said "See you at the ripped bodice" and I wondered what that meant. This story is just like some love triangle in a New York apartment block. It's just very low key though and I love that.

Here's a decent brief summary: https://wordsmith.org/words/bodice_ripper.html

Closest I've gotten to ever reading that genre would probably be playing Amy Briggs' interactive romance Infocom game, Plundered Hearts (which has the distinction of being the only Infocom game in which the player-avatar is always specifically female).

I think I was first exposed to the term in a promotional article about the game, in Infocom's customer newsletter, The Status Line (formerly The New Zork Times).

I am currently reading the Double Helix books in the TNG series and loving them. I finished the second book "Vectors" a while ago and really enjoyed it. The series surprised me by being a crossover and now I can't wait to see what is next.
I liked getting a Pulaski centric book set in Terok Nor. Quark, Rom and Nog provided a bit of comic relief in an otherwise serious plague story. Good Trek fun all around.

I liked Pulaski, even if I prefer Crusher.

Be that as it may, I'm now 2 cantos into Purgatorio, in Dante's Divine Comedy.
