It's going great here! I just finished up The Neruda Case. It was a historical mystery primarily set in the 1960s. Now I'm going to be alternating between Night Terror and The Secret Lives of Bats: My Adventures with the World's Most Misunderstood Mammals.

1 book down!
I just finished Geekerella with 320 of my 500 page goal.

And I was inspired by that book, so now I'm off to start The Science of Star Wars.
