Just completed #2 (book on TBR way too long) - Caribou Island by David Vann. While the writing is actually good in this book, everything else suffers. The plot is meandering and ends without real resolution. The characters are complex, but I failed to sympathize with any of them. Overall, it dragged. Not worth reading. 2.5 stars

30/30 - challenge completed!!!
