trainreads challenge check in

[rmc28]

I had a migraine today, so this is late. How did we do?

I will probably run another 72-hour challenge weekend after next (22-24 Apr)

I finished Ballad comfortably. I also, finally, started reading The Complete Guide to the Menopause and managed to establish in an hour of skim-reading that it had nothing new to tell me, and in fact was going to irritate me in several ways (the author has Opinions on sleep & pain relief which do not match my experience). So I returned both on Saturday and can console myself that I still spent less in library fines than the menopause book would have cost me to buy and be irritated.

My other goal was reading bought-but-unread books from March. I didn't manage that but I did read two short books I bought on impulse, so that's in the spirit of the original goal.

That sounds great! Also I dread to think the bad opinions people can come up with on sleep and pain relief.

My goals were:

• Finish The Only Good Indian (Stephen Graham Jones)
• Finish Honeycomb (Joanne Harris)
• Read the entirety of The Kaiju Preservation Society (John Scalzi)
• Get to page 100 of Curry (Lizzie Collingham)
• Start reading The Obelisk Gate (N.K. Jemisin)
• Maybe also read Labours of Stone (Emma Mort Harding)

I did all of those things and more, including reading the whole of another novella by EM Harding, so I'm preeeetty darn pleased.
