Kimberly’s comments from the Homer Public Library 15 in '16 group.

Please do this again next year. Although I obviously will not hit the 15 mark, it has widened my range of book subjects and authors. Thank you very much.

I picked Bronze Horseman from the list that no one had read yet. Sadly, I had to put it down halfway through. The setting is very interesting, taking place during the siege of Leningrad, but the main characters are not interesting and there is a lot of adolescent whining about unrequited love. Sorry, but I can't recommend this one.

I just finished Fates and Furies. Beautiful writing and great story. Highly recommended.

So knock Maphead off the list! It was highly entertaining and please read the footnotes. Lots of great information, funny, and you don't have to be a map geek to enjoy it.
I have to take a break from Homer books and read a book from my regular book club now. I'll be back.

I just finished The Son by Jo Nesbo. He is always reliable for a good read. It's full of dark and flawed Nordic characters. It draws you in quickly.
I just started Maphead by Jennings. I wanted to pick one of the books on the not picked yet list and I love maps. Not as much as this guy though! Its interesting and a fast read. I will update when I'm finished.
Its already hot and humid way down here in Charleston, so there should be more time to read now, as I can't work in the garden in the heat.

I just finished Winter, which I substituted for Cinder, as I had read the rest of the series. It is a great series to read for fun. Space , plus classic tales of evil step mothers and android romance.

I'm from Way Off, South Carolina. I'm a die hard Dana fan so I ended up stumbling over the 15 in 16. I have convinced my local book club to read books from their list. I've read The Fifth Season and I am now on Winter, which I am substituting for Cinder, since I have already read all of the other books in that series. They are very engaging. Very happy to be here!
