Yet another peak seems attainable...

37. Wolverine: Old Man Logan Mark Millar As far as seeing Wolverine in his old age goes, I liked the story in the movie Logan better.

38. The Making of C. S. Lewis: From Atheist to Apologist Harry Lee Poe Maybe I am just getting used to his atyle, but I felt like this second volume flowed better than the first.

39. All That Remains Patricia Cornwell It must be frustrating to try to solve cases when information is not being shared.

40. Can You Forgive Her? Anthony Trollope I enjoyed it, although I wanted to shake some of the characters at times, especially Burgo's aunt, Lady Glencora, and I suppose Burgo himself. (Another character seems too irredeemable to get any good out of a good shaking). The story was good, though, and Trollope is a good writer.

41. A Gentleman in Moscow Amor Towles Among my top three favorites so far this year! Even so, I wondered why it took me so long to get through it, until I realized that I wanted to savor it, not rush through to find out what happens. I also questioned the ending, but decided I like it-that it is in keeping with the character of Count Alexander..

42. A Winter's Promise Christelle Dabos Excellent world-building and a good, complex story. The prologue and epilogue worry me a bit, but I will probably continue the series at some point.

43. Illusion. Frank Peretti Frank E. Peretti Reread, this time with a book club.
44. Recorder Cathy McCrumb Not perfect, but good. I went ahead and read the sequel, but need to wait for the last one to finish the story.
45. Babel: An Arcane History R.F. Kuang Great writing, great world-building, fascinating magic/scientific system, but disagreement with the original subtitle kept it from being a favorite of mine. She does communicate well the sense of helplessness that makes people believe that violence is the answer, though. But I think there are examples that prove that violence is not always necessary, and that even when necessary is better used under the control of people who really would rather not use it.
46. Christie, Agatha - Lord Edgeware Dies Christie Agatha Good, but not a favorite.
47. Houses of Stone Barbara Michaels I love reading her books, but more as Elizabeth Peters than as Barbara Michaels, as the latter tend to be spookier. This one was fine, though, although a little heavy-handed on the feminism.
48, The Girl Who Played with Fire Stieg Larsson This book definitely contains some descriptions and many words that I would prefer that it didn't, but never have 700+ pages gone by so fast! I stayed up much too late last night. And the way it ends--well, I am now on page 35 or so of the next 700+ page installment...
And thus another mountain is conquered! I shall move on to the next, although I may not reach the summit.
