I'm at 65%, but hope to make some good progress tonight.

By the way, do you folks here want book reviews? I write a review of everything I read for my GoodReads page. If there's interest, I'll also post the reviews here as I write them. They're nothing fancy or profound--usually just a few paragraphs explaining what I liked and didn't like about the book, with a quote or two for illustrative purposes. I generally read one to three books a month, depending on the books and my other commitments.

I'm near the end of Nevada Barr's most recent Anna Pigeon novel, _Destroyer Angel_. scarletwoman Sep 2014 #17

I agree, Nevada Barr's books have become formulaic. Enthusiast Sep 2014 #18

Well, our tastes definitely diverge on this one. scarletwoman Sep 2014 #19
