Just completed another ebook - The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders. I’m just confused. The writing is good, but I truly wish the author would have made up words to describe the native life forms rather than using existing words. The clash of my mental image and her descriptions was jarring and pulled me out of the story. The characters were fascinating, but I had a hard time gripping on to them throughout the story. And then it was building up to something and just ended. She’s got a brilliant mind, but I wish it had developed more. 3 stars

Just cleared another ebook - My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. I feel like I need to cleanse my mind after reading this book - it was a lot. That being said, it is an important read, to understand how this could happen and the massive ramifications on a woman’s life. The writing is excellent, and that is part of what makes this a difficult read - the almost effortless sinking into the story. Appreciate it but I did not enjoy the experience. 4.5 stars
