Location: Great Lakes, USA		The Stars Like Dust -50s, Sequel, Clear, Out There, Listomania -ok
Alif the Unseen - WoGF, Subgenre, World (Middle East), 12in12 (WFA), Literary (Baileys/Orange), P&M - ok, a late coming of age for the main character.
Iceborn - Solar System (Pluto), Authors, Unloved, Short, Clear - good
Robogenesis - 2014, Sequel, Unloved - better than the first, but definitely a middle book. Waiting for the third book.
The Race - 2014, WoGF, World (England), Second (Red Tentacle)- Didnt like this one. Could have been really good, but there were a lot of errors - contextual and typographical.
The End of the Sentence - WoGF, P&M, Short, Unloved. - Decent story. Would have enjoyed it more if I was familiar with the mythology behind it.

I got 2/3s of the way through The Bone Clocks, which is excellent. Sadly, I had to return it to the library and will have to wait until I am number one on the list again to finish it.

I thought that if I made a Space Opera Challenge, I would read my backlog of Space Opera. Not happening. I think I will have to suspend all my library holds for a while so I can read some Space Opera!

I am also thinking of changing my Listomania list to Guardian, since there are now reading levels for the 1950s Challenge. I'm not sure if that's a wise idea, given how many Challenges I have signed up for. But, there are books on the Guardian list that I really want to read.
