3. Finished one, started another.

Finished The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher. Just like another of her books I've read, it was just okay and finished it mostly out of curiosity. Probably won't pick up another.

Started The Sentence by Louise Erdrich. It started with a weird premise, and again, mostly reading to finish out of curiosity.

I'll probably move on to another non-fiction after this. I've always loved fiction, but seems like most of what's out there now is either odd relationship plots, fantasy/sci-fi or mystery/crime, none of which I enjoy at all. Too many series, as well.
