November Book Read - First Check In

[glinda]

Somewhat delayed due to train shenanigans - due to signal failure I was sent on a 3 hour detour - last night, but as this week was a short week I'm sure you won't mind the extra reading time...

Anyway the first week of the challenge has reached an end. Time to share with the class your triumphs and tribulations. Finish a book? Make a start on something that you've been meaning to get round to for ages? Or finally accept that that one book everyone recommended you is just not your thing and you're never going to get past the second chapter?

Successes and failures below the line please!

Let's see -- I can't quite remember exactly when this challenge started versus when I finished various books, so I'll just go with "since last Monday".

Finished:
-Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl.
-Patricia McKillip, Wonders of the Invisible World.
-Guy Gavriel Kay, A Song for Arbonne.
-Neil Gaiman & Chris Riddell, The Sleeper & The Spindle.
-G. Willow Wilson & Adrian Alphona, Ms Marvel: No Normal.

Started:
-Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale.
-Adam Alter, Drunk Tank Pink.
-Jo Walton, The Just City.
-Guy Gavriel Kay, The Lions of Al-Rassan.
-Robin McKinley, Shadows.

I had to start The Thirteenth Tale again because I've been dawdling so long about reading it; the GGK books are rereads so I might not make much progress on Al-Rassan. Been meaning to read Shadows for a while, and The Just City is coming out in January and I am so excited to get to read it now.
