4170 I finally caught up on all my reviews. Hopefully I don't fall so far behind again.

Uncrowned - I liked it, but not as much as the last one. ★★★★☆ - (My Review)

A Little Hatred - It's good to be back in the First Law World. I thought this was a solid new addition to the series. ★★★★☆ - (My Review)

Career of Evil - I think this is the best book of this series so far. ★★★★☆ - (My Review)

An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth - Pretty good at parts, and a bit annoying at others. ★★★½☆ - (My Review)

4170 Looks like I guess poorly :(
4170 Our pick for next month will be: The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge.

This one was out of print for awhile, but looks to be available in all the usual formats now. I'm probably going to opt for the audio book format myself, mostly because it looks to be another longer book and I'm still only halfway through reading this month's pick.

What does everyone else think?

Some of these books date back to August.
