Oh, great scott! I can't believe I made that 20.5 mistake AGAIN! Have deducted the 5 combo points...
30.1 Go for the GreenPopol Vuh by Anonymous
While I am very familiar with Greek and Roman mythology, have a pretty decent grasp of Norse mythology and a fair to middling relationship with Egyptian, North American myth is a big old blind spot for me. I've been meaning to read the Popol Vuh, the mythology and history of the Kiché people of Guatemala, for quite some time and now seemed as good as any. Sadly, the edition I read was not what I would consider beginner-friendly. The first half of the book was an oft-difficult to understand translation of the material and the second half of the book was commentary--much of which would have been far more useful if I'd had that information before attempting to read the Popol Vuh itself (such as a pronunciation guide: that was part of my problem, the strange names that were so similar to each other..."Xblanque," "Xpiyacoc," "Xmucane" "Hunhun-Ahpu" and "Vukup-Hunahpu"...argh! Couldn't keep anyone straight!). I know there were some similarities to other world myths (having to cross a river to get to an underworld shows up in several other pantheons, there's a flood, there's an explanation of creation not unlike the Biblical description: night and light separated, then there's the creation of earth and plant life, then animals, and finally man), but there was enough with which I was unfamiliar to make me feel like a first-semester freshman who has accidentally wandered into a graduate-level seminar. Especially the second half, the commentary...that was so over my head!
I'm glad that I was exposed to this and in the future may seek out a different translation, but for now I'm just glad to have it behind me!

20.4 ProlificThe Elusive State of Jefferson: A Journey through the 51st State by Peter Laufer
I thought this book was the story of the purported attempt by some northwestern California and southwest Oregon counties to secede from their respective states and form what would have been the 49th state called Jefferson in 1941. It is definitely that with some interesting original research to back it up. But then the author, Peter Laufer, looks at the conflicts in the region through the eyes of the current inhabitants, the Klamath water wars, the spotted owl, gold dredging, coho salmon, constitutional sheriffs. The book was published in 2013 and clearly illustrates the alienation felt in rural areas and the schisms that divide them.

20.3 ProlificDeath Came Softly by E.C.R. Lorac
I have read others liken mystery novels to puzzles. They work to figure it out as they read. For this one, as a jigsaw puzzle, it was pretty clear in some ways, but there were obvious pieces missing. And to make matters worse, it seemed as if there were a few pieces present which belonged in another box!. They weren't quite red herrings - the pieces weren't misdirecting me, they just didn't seem to go with the rest. That is not a complaint - it is why I liked it.
I have said before that I don't actually try to figure out who is the perpetrator. I like to think I read them like other pieces of literature and just let the author tell his/her story. If I were honest, though, there is always the question in the back of my mind "who done it?" This was no exception. I did sort of come up with an answer, but not all of the pieces fell into place. Thus, the pieces from a different box!
Inspector MacDonald, like many literary detectives, seemed to have more prescience than did I. I like Inspector MacDonald - not in the way I like Brunetti or Poirot. MacDonald is just a fine policeman - always thinking, always looking at what is possible, willing to look at what will finally make all the pieces fit. I like the way Lorac writes - neither flowery nor too simple.
I'm glad her books have become easily and cheaply available on the Kindle. I think this installment was as good, if not better, than the others I've read. As short as it is, I felt it a bit more complex. I'm tempted to raise it to the 4-star group, but that might not be fair as that is the so-called top of mysteries for me and this wasn't quite that good. Let it sit in the top quarter of the 3-stars and be glad I've got more ahead of me.

30.1 Go for the GreenThe Orchard of Lost Souls by Nadifa Mohamed
100% Somalia
Yet another intense and moving novel, I seem to be on a roll.
The story takes place in the late 1980s when the Dictator in power decided to take military action against the rebels in Northwest. The action takes place in the town of Hargeisa, which is now the capital of Somaliland (which is not a recognized country). The story is woven together through the point of view of three woman. One is a girl who was born and raised in a refugee camp (just outside of Hargeisa), one of her critical scenes drives the story. One is an older/elderly woman who is a widow but was able to do well for herself and she owns the orchard. The final woman is a young, late 20s, soldier who was raised to fully support and believe in the regime. Mohamed writes about things and situations that you don’t really want to face (certainly as a middle class Western woman).
The writing was excellent and very readable. Although the author is too young to have ‘been on the scene’ it feels like she listened closely to her elders and is able to convey the reality of that time. It was very interesting to read about a time and situation that is completely (and wildly) different from my reality. It was a very thought provoking read as well, which led to research on topics I was aware of, but knew little. Recommended. 4.5*

20.3 ProlificThe Big Bow Mystery by Israel Zangwill
The GR description says this was the first locked-room mystery, but it was not. The novel even refers to Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue. But in Poe's and most later mysteries, we are with the detective while s/he performs an investigation. This novel is decidedly different. There is none of that. Instead we get testimony at both the inquest and the trial.
We are privy to the thoughts of the population who is outraged and astonished at the murder of a fine young man who also was working to uplift the working class. There are letters to newspapers. Was it suicide? How could it be murder with no means of getting in and out of the bedroom? Readers and letter-writers of nineteenth century London newspapers carried on conversations with each other, argued with each others thoughts. It was the equivalent of Twitter and Facebook. There are also a few main characters who help us see what is going on outside of these newspaper conversations. This is short and it took me a couple of chapters to see how Zangwill constructed his novel.
Apparently this saw many printings. The edition I read had a preface from Zangwill that was included in an edition published 4 years after it first appeared. In it, he comments on this humor, even saying he now thought it too much humor. While I didn't think it was the best of the novel, it certainly added something to it, for which I was glad.
For purists of the mystery genre who want to try to figure out the crime, this will be a disappointment. There is a lot of filler. At first I was exasperated. Then I came to realize it is just different. Published in 1892, the genre had not yet seen the likes of Christie, Sayers, and Allingham who would define crime fiction for many decades. I'm not in the least sorry I read this, but I can't find more than a middlin' 3-stars for it and even that might be a tad generous.

20.3 ProlificDragonflight by Anne McCaffrey
I know I read these when I was in middle school, but I hardly remember them and decided to revisit this classic over the weekend when I wanted a light audiobook to listen to while doing other things. There are some valid complaints about this series, including the borderline-rape of the heroine, but I still enjoyed the mixture of science fiction and fantasy here--outer space, time travel, dragons, alien species invading. I'll probably continue through at least some of the other Pern books now that I've reminded myself of the story.
The narrator for the audiobook (available on Scribd) did a nice job with the book. I was flipping back and forth with the ebook, so that broke up the narration a bit, but I would listen to this narrator again.

20.10 Another Birthday? (Elizabeth (Alaska)'s Task)The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5) by Andrzej Sapkowski
Review
Truthfully, I wouldn't have got into this series at all if it isn't because of hubby. He's not a reader but he loved playing this game and as a result, got me to watch the Netflix series with him last year. I have since read the first book, Blood of Elves, which picked up directly after the Netflix adaptation (based on The Last Wish) and really enjoyed that one. I actually found myself a bit disappointed in this book. Geralt just wasn't as funny and being a collection of short stories that were actually being told/remembered as he was recovering from an injury (with short segue in between), plus the fact that I've already watched the screen adaptation, made me very impatient with the book. The only thing I appreciated was the twists on traditional fairy tales which I somehow missed on the screen?!

20.2 JournalistAn American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago by Alex Kotlowitz
I discovered this author at the True/False film festival, a documentary film festival held each year in Columbia, Missouri. There, I watched his four-part, four-hour series about Chicago in which he explored many different neighborhoods and election campaigns. The author talked after the screening and was such an interesting person, I've sought out some of his work.
This book examines the stories behind murders in Chicago during a three-month period. The author interviews people involved including reporters, prosecutors, detectives, family members, accused and convicted individuals, friends, and witnesses. There is no effort to offer solutions or policies--instead the author just seeks to understand how these murders are handled and something about why they happened.
I enjoyed the book because I liked learning the details of the lives of the individuals. I don't feel like I learned anything meta, but I learned lots of micro details that were fascinating.

20.9 Initiated Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
This was an interesting read - it was nominally about some horrific murders committed in 1984 by two Fundamentalist Mormon brothers, committed to polygamy, living in a small isolated town. It was really more about polygamy and Fundamentalism in general, along with the history of Mormonism, which provided the big picture for the murders but also was in and of itself a more sweeping nonfiction book. At first I didn't love the style, which jumped around in time (and I can see why it might be frequently unfinished!), but once I had the time frame down I enjoyed the book and got more and more into the story. Like the other book I'm about to finish in my last day of the season :), it's not really a true crime novel, it's a sweeping nonfiction picture of a big, fascinating topic.

30.1 Go for the GreenMurder and Baklava by Blake Pierce
This is billed as a "cozy mystery"--it felt more like a "corny mystery."
That could have been due in part to the reader (why in the world they got a British reader for an American protagonist still baffles...and when the reader attempted a Long Island accent I was going to die--soooo awful). And the protagonist's name: London Rose?! Eye roll. While the set up was interesting enough, I couldn't bear absolutely ridiculous premise that she was charged by her employer (she's a hostess on a river cruise ship) with the solving of a murder and that the local constabulary bow to her "superior" sleuthing abilities. Ugh. I'm all for a bit of a suspension of disbelief but those bounds can only be pushed *so far*. Don't think I'll be reading anything else by this author.

20.3 ProlificThe Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher / pen name of Ursula Vernon
Verified in the 20.3 topic
I know I said I was done, but this came in from the library...
Another winner from Kingfisher. Like The Twisted Ones, this takes inspiration from classic weird fiction, removes the icky racist bits, and dials the WEIRD up to 11.
Another very real heroine goes through another hole in the world, and what is on the other side is messed up. And the book is scarier because the protagonist reacts how an actual human would probably react when confronted with mind-shredding terror.
There are good reasons for *not* calling in professionals, and the precautions taken are legit.
This was a creepy book, but not nightmare fuel for me. Wonder if anything can beat the tap-tapping effigies of The Twisted Ones. I will certainly read all her books to find out. This one had some solid scares, but I’m glad the book went where it did with the thing that could have been Really Gnarly. It’s strange to call a horror novel wholesome, but damn if this is isn’t ultimately a feel-good book.
I am going to see if I can get the inspo The Willows in under the wire... but I really may have hit my max reading limit.

20.2 JournalistThe Willows by Algernon Blackwood
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerno...
Atmospheric, and overall not a bad little story.
But talk about an abrupt ending! I thought my audiobook was messed up, so I checked out an ebook, and nope - it just stops.
It’s more like an unfinished draft of a book than a novella. What happened? Did Blackwood get bored? Was he writing in tiny script on cocktail napkins and ran out of space? Even if he couldn’t figure out how to wrap it all up, he left the characters stranded in the middle of a crisis. The most immediate danger may have passed, but they were not out of the woods. Literally.
Maybe that’s why it works. The reader is also abandoned, and so you start to wonder. And then you think about thinking in the context of the story, and it all gets very hackle-raising. If I lived in a place where I might run into a willow tree or two, I’d probably be nice and spooked. But my scraggly desert willow does not really exude extra-dimensionality.
Anyway, I’m glad I read The Hollow Places before this, because I would have probably been annoyed at the screeching halt of the book, but I feel like Kingfisher gave me the answers.

20.2 Journalist Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt
This, like the other semi-true-crime book I read recently, was not really what I think of as a true crime book, to be honest. This had a murder SORT of at the center of the book, but I would say it was more a portrayal of Savannah, GA at a particular point in time, full of colorful characters and wild events. John Berendt does a good job of capturing what appears to have been a wild place and time, but the actual murder that is theoretically the center of this book was less interesting in some ways. There was no mystery about who committed the crime, and very little mystery about why - the real question was what would the outcome of the trial be. I think you have to go into this book thinking of it as not a true crime or murder book but instead an elaborate, meandering portrait of a city, with a murder included.
