It is finished.

- Be Water, My Friend by Sharon Lee (Inspiring)
- 1632 by Eric Flint (Set in Two Time Periods)
- Guide to Quality Control by Kaoru Ishikawa (Translated)
As I mentioned, I also read The Sins of the Fathers because I thought it might be set in two time periods, but it wasn’t.
I really enjoy the annual winter reading challenge because it really gives me a good head start on the annual reading total (which is 18 books as of this writing) and because, in finding books to fit the categories, I end up picking up books that might not be what I want to read next in other circumstances. Like a quality textbook. Like finally taking one of the lighter weight Stephen King books off of the shelves. Like the travel book. And so on.
I did have to buy three books to fit categories (and one that ultimately did not), so it was not as effective at stack-clearing as it could have been. But, now onto other reading (and maybe some television and movie watching).
