The rest of the list and other notes:

• Lord of the Dead by Tom Holland – Didn’t get to this at all.
• Summerland by Hannu Rajaniemi – DNF
• God’s War by Kameron Hurley – DNF
• I also read four other book that weren’t on my list.

So, that’s like 17-ish books total for the summer! (Plus 40 short stories.)

Favorites:

* I’m posting this “wrap-up” a little early. Thanks to Cathy @ 746 Books, 20 Books of Summer has filled my least favorite season with great reading, but Sept 1st begins my *most* favorite season. There are several events I’m looking forward to diving into on the 1st.
