I managed to finish last week's book. Just thought I'd mention that since I whined on about it so.
After soldiering on through that one, I decided to try one of the challenge categories that I really dreaded...steampunk...and I promised myself that I could lay it aside if I hated it.
Chronicles of Steele: Raven by Pauline Creeden
Surprisingly, I didn't. I will never be a devotee, but I finished it on Sunday, and it was more enjoyable than the one before it.
That makes 26 books ticked off of my 2017 reading challenge. I believe...yes, indeed...that makes an even 50%. Hmmm...didn't someone predict October would see me at 50%? :) Of course from here on out, it may get harder to fill the categories. Things like a book on career advice...one from a non-human perspective...one that has over 800 pages! Oy!
My Husband's Wife: A Novel by Jane Corry
I started this one on Monday. I made a lot of progress since I sat with my knee up a good part of the afternoon and evening. Yesterday my knee felt a lot better, so didn't get to spend as much time reading, but it did keep me up quite late.

I've had fun looking at your reading posts! It's nice to do a challenge and I've thought of trying that just to get out of a rut. But I DO love my mysteries! Happy reading! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane! Last year I felt really kind of burnt out with reading, so I went in search of a challenge for this year that would really make me stretch. So far I'm really enjoying it.
