Bout of Books Mid-Week Update
As it turns out, this hasn’t been the best week for a read-a-thon, but at least my commute gives me a lot of reading time. (And I finally turned in my thesis!) Here’s my progress so far:
Company Town by Madeline Ashby – finished. This is a very cool book publishing this week by Tor. A mix of science fiction, thriller and mystery. It’s very strange and has a great lead character. 
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – About 30%. This book starts out as a look at a few characters in Nigeria in the 1960s, but now it’s very intense. I love Adichie’s writing.
Dragonfly in Amber – reading the last part slowly, I don’t want to rush through it.
Rush Oh! by Shirley Barrett – I’ve really just started this book, I don’t plan to get into it until Half of a Yellow Sun is finished (and that’s probably all I can do this week).
Thinking about taking tomorrow off as a mental health (reading) day. What do you think?

Congrats on getting your thesis in. That is a huge accomplishment!
Thanks Jen! It seems like all I talk about these days, but now it’s done so I can think about other things!
Oh that’s clever, I’ve never thought to take a mental health day off, if I did I probably wouldn’t ever return to work LOL
Company Town sounds very intriguing will definitely check that out 😉
Of course I didn’t actually do it – I went into work as usual, but it was nice to think about! I’ve got a lot of leave coming up this summer so that will have to do.
Thanks for commenting! Hope you enjoyed Bout of Books!
Looks like you have been reading some interesting books this week! 🙂
