Update on my 3rd Quarter TBR:

1. Malice at the Palace by Rhys Bowen ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
2. Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
3. Death Wears a Beauty Mask by Mary Higgins Clark DNF
   After some ranting I skimmed the end of the title story – meh. I’m not bothering with the rest of the book.
4. The Melody Lingers On by Mary Higgins Clark ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
5. Superfluous Women by Carola Dunn ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
6. The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George DNF
   I really loved the actual bookstore scenes, and the quotes about books were divine, but mostly I was just bored. I felt like if I kept reading this book I would end up in a reading slump. 😦 I’ve since discovered that my library has an eaudio version, so I might try again someday.
7. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
8. Kes by Robin McKinley ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
9. Uprooted by Naomi Novik DNF
   This makes me sad. Several people whose opinions on books I trust really enjoyed this one. However, at 50% in I was bored. I didn’t really care about any of the characters, the plot is incredibly rambling, the “romance” is squicky, etc. Sigh.
10. The Philosopher Kings by Jo Walton DNF 
    This is getting ridiculous y’all! I loved The Just City and I was super excited for the sequel, but about halfway through this book (and therefore halfway through the trilogy) the author took a strongly anti-Christian stand. I feel like that was her agenda for the series all along.
