BOOK TRACKER: 17, 18, 19, & 20
#17 Ms. Marvel, Vol. 1: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson
Yes, this is my first time reading read Ms. Marvel. I enjoyed it but I have no tolerance for embarrassment. I had to skip several pages as it made me too uncomfortable, this being the origin story. (I had similar problems with Into The Spiderverse, as the narrative need to isolate the protagonist is occasionally overwhelming) Overall, though, it was a cool read.
Lar and I went on a vacation to Oregon in July, visiting family and heading out to the beach. Our favorite place to stay is in Newport, Sylvia Beach Hotel We stayed in the Agatha Christie room this year, which was good as it was a first floor room and I had sprained my knee back in April, so I wasn't the best on narrow stairs. I also couldn't do a ton of beach walking, as I got really tired out after about 45 minutes. We spent much of the time reading and eating, which is my favorite vacation.
We jumped back into the Peter Grant series (audiobook format) during on travels, which made for a lot of "what happens next" conversation and speculation both between us and the other guests we sat with at meals. (The nice thing about Sylvia Beach -- You can always talk about books.) We kept on with the series after, but missed 'The Hanging Tree' before getting to the end of the arc. Didn't really need it and will pick it up after. The whole series is fabulous, and really well plotted. It was fantastic to see it all come together at the (sortof) end.
#18 Foxglove Summer
#19 The Furthest Station
#20 Lies Sleeping
Hope things are well with you. My last day of work is Sept 20, and I am counting down the days. We head off to the Grand Canyon on Sept 23rd, and I am very excited about that. More chances to read!
