On time this week!

We're two weeks into the challenge, half way through! Are we all forging ahead with our tasks, or are we stalling and in need of some cheerleading?

*waves pompoms enthusiastically*

Check in below with your triumphs and tribulations. Celebrate the achievements big and small, whether you got through a whole book or merely made a start on a book that's been taunting you for ages.

Let's see... I've now finished:

-Drunk Tank Pink, Adam Alter.
-The Court of Lightning, Amy Rae Durreson.
-Darwin: A Life in Poems, Ruth Padel.
-The Thirteenth Tale, Diane Setterfield.
-The Mighty Thor: The Galactus Seed, Matt Fraction.
-What Matters in Jane Austen?, John Mullan.
-Votan, John James.

I don't think I've started anything new. I'm working on Awakenings (Oliver Sacks), as it's due back at the library.

Great progress again!

How was the Thirteenth Tale? I'm fairly sure that's in one of my unread boxes.

I'm also interested in knowing what Matt Fraction's Thor was like - I'm hoping to tackle Hawkeye - LA Woman this week (if there's time!)

I liked it. It's very beholden to the Brontes, I think, and the twists didn't surprise me as much as they were supposed to, but I did enjoy it.

As for Thor -- I'm not the greatest Thor fan to begin with, so I might be a bad judge, but I wasn't enthused.
