It was the first week of classes, and I have about 92 students, but I managed to finish 4 of the books I was halfway through.
Stanislaw Lem's His Master's Voice was the best - prescient and witty.
I very much enjoyed the always clever Grady Hendrix's Final Girl Support Group
I finished re-reading Sandman v.1 and it holds up well
I finished Lisa Unger's Confessions on the 7:45 and my main thought about it was that I should really give up on a "fun" read when I don't think it's any good. The book had an interesting plot, and started off OK, but the characterization was weak. We hear one character tell another that she's a "woman of iron" but she gives zero evidence of this in her thoughts and actions.
I still have reading to do for research, and I haven't made much progress on this year's academic reading challenge because I really have to prioritize writing my own book this year.
Sounds like some good reading. Best of luck on working on your book!

I recently completed the Bout of Books readathon and the latest WEP flash fiction, which are the focus of my latest blog posts.
