LHC #192: "The Sisters of Straygarden Place" by Hayley Chewins. Hard copy. I guess middle grades don't read as many e-books? Not the book for me, maybe. I had trouble keeping track of the characters. The boy and I were talking about Themes a week or two ago, and I couldn't really see one here.
LHC #193: "City of the Plague God" by Sarwat Chadda. eBook, also middle grade. Much more to my liking.
LHC #194: "The Mask of Mirrors" by M.A. Carrick. The start was too stressful, I almost abandoned it. That was partly because it's really fat. The constant trying to guess who the rook was seemed silly, and some characters seemed sort of abandoned, but I guess that's what sequels are for. At least I don't have to rush; book 3 comes out next August.
LHC #195: "The Fireman" by Joe Hill. Audiobook. Started it because I'd run out of podcasts and was doing deploy prep at work. I meant to listen to it while finishing the last 60 rows of the body of "Tay Tartan" knitting project, but then I wound up knitting more socks again through no fault of my own. It seemed really long, some dialog scenes seemed to go on a bit too long before getting to the point. It would have been much more efficient to read this, because I could have glossed over those sections. The story was good and I cared about the characters, but it was too long.
