Week 42 - Thoughts Regarding Prizes and Other Things...

[Joanna]

10 weeks left in this year's Book Quest! How is everyone doing? Are you meeting your goals? Are you ahead? Behind? I am definitely behind. Don't let my Goodreads count fool you; I've been reading a lot of manga and graphic novels so most of my book count is from those. Hopefully, I'll manage another ten or so books before the year is out. But we will see.

With the end approaching, I have to start thinking about prizes! Generally, the grand prize is a Kindle Fire. But I want to know your opinions. Keep that as the grand prize? Should we go with something else? Do you have thoughts for the Take It or Leave It prize? Let your voice be heard!

What is everyone reading this week? I've started After the Flood and while it's not my normal cup of tea, it's fairly a compelling read so far. Over the holiday, I finished Dinosaurs Rediscovered which was a great look at recent dinosaur discoveries. I'm hoping to start Six of Crows at some point this week; I've heard nothing but good things about this duology.

What are you reading?

I'm reading two things: one a local true crime story called The Senator's Son, by Charles Oldham, and the other called Weapons of Math Destruction, How Big Data increases inequality... by Cathy O Neil.

I finished After the Flood. I was impressed with the flow of the book and its plot development. Thank you for providing access to it!
