Hooray for preorders that arrive three hours early. Thank you, East coast times for release dates and Kindle auto-deliveries!

Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4)

Candice is on page 132 of 321 of On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction
The 24 pages in chapter 10, "Bits and Pieces," were worth the cost of the book....

On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction

Candice
Candice is on page 63 of 771 of The Goldfinch
It's not helping my progress any when I realized I skipped a chapter and went back to read it -- and it didn't detract from the story to skip it in the first place. Doesn't bode well for a long, long book....Perhaps someone should have trimmed more fat from the story?

Take #2 at trying to read this. A week in and I already made it further than the last time around, 3-4 years ago. That's hopeful, right?

The Book Thief

Candice
Candice is on page 85 of 541 of Wildwood (Wildwood Chronicles, #1)
Why, yes, I really DID pilfer my kid's school library book to see what the fuss is about. A book written and illustrated by a Portland couple, and a plot taking place in Portland? Count me in (especially for a library book on hand)! The illustrator did an author's visit to my daughter's school recently (alas, only for K-2nd grade), and it got me curious....

Trying to force myself to finish it. I like her writing style, but Anne Lamott as a person? Not so much...which makes it tough as a memoir.

And in a genuine, old-fashioned physical book, no less. (It's dangerous living 10 minutes from a Powell's.)

All the Light We Cannot See

Candice
Candice is 18% done with White Fire (Pendergast, #13)
Rather dull and unengaging so far. I'm skimming...bad sign. Too bad I bought it before/for vacation 2 months ago; not sure I'd waste the $10 again. I miss the authors' writing of 15-18 years ago.

Candice
Candice is on page 194 of 318 of Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
It's right so far. I enjoyed Tiny Beautiful Things and other shorter autobiographical pieces more than I am Wild. But I like that she's about to hit areas of the Cascades where I went camping as a kid. Glad it's a library ebook, though -- free!!

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

Candice
Candice is on page 10 of 568 of Out of Oz (Wicked Years, #4)
Loved Wicked, was 'meh' about Son of a Witch, and thought A Lion Among Men was awful...but I'm theoretically curious enough how Maguire will wrap it all up to give the 4th book a go. All the same, thank goodness it's a library e-book with a 3-week nonrenewable window -- if I haven't finishes it by then, I doubt I'm missing anything....
