[Dee]

You might like Matterhorn - I read it for the challenge earlier this year and really liked it - the author is a vietnam vet. Takes place on a mountain near the border of Laos

I recently finished Mudbound by Hillary Jordan which had wonderful characters. It was set in the Mississippi Delta after World War II, and had multiple themes--racism, post-traumatic stress after war, marriage and family, and fulfillment in life. It was very well-written.

Still reading

I have no idea what tasks the books I am reading are for as we have been without electricity for 8 days now, and I cannot access my PC excel spreadsheet at home. I trust we will get it back soon so that I can catch up and post my books. I am reading either in the library at night (library has WiFi and is staying open late as a warming/charging center) or by candle light at home.

[Connie]

I feel so bad for you, Bea. I'm also in Connecticut, and our power was out for 4 1/2 days. I spent a lot of time in the library, and at the mall. Going out for a hot cup of coffee after a cold night at home was like heaven. I hope your power gets restored soon.

I'm reading The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World by Steven Johnson,
and will be starting The Red Thread by Ann Hood.

Connie, we got electric power back after 8 days and 16 hours! Sure do appreciate heat and lights!

[Dee]

debating if I want to start the new stephen king - I can fit it into multiple categories for the winter challenge and its long enough to fit the partially read rule at 960 pages

[mstan]

I'm now starting on 500+-pagers for the winter challenge - The Game of Kings and The Winter Sea (both coincidentally historical fiction set in/about Scotland). I'm taking a long trip from Singapore to the US and Canada so these are helping me to keep sane.

[Katrina]

I've started my 500+ pager as well, for task 10.2.

[Sue]

I'm debating which of my 500+ pagers to start. I think I've got three or four on my list for the winter challenge.

[Bea]

I have 5 big books (500+) on my list for Winter so far (10.4, 10.8, 10.9, 15.2B and 15.3A).

i think i might start the new stephen king tonight - at 900 odd pages...but yeah...

the ipod is loaded with audiobooks, the kindle is stocked, some of the library books are in, others are in transit... T-7.5 hours to go!
