Just completed my 2nd #12 (metallic) - Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. This collection of stories was rather dry. There were parts that had a bit of humor and Gaiman's interpretations were interesting, but overall, I had to work to get through them. Not my favorite. 2.5 stars2nd round - 5/15

Just completed #3 again (red) - Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney. I loved this book! The writing was fantastic, and the wit, both from the author and the main character, were right on point. The fact that the main character is based on a real woman makes this all the more fascinating. My favorite book of 2017 thus far. Definitely worth reading! 5 stars6/15 Round 2
