Not bad! Though I admit that I didn’t finish Reap the Wild Wind by Julie Czerneda; I just couldn’t get into it. You might also note that there are two books there that weren’t there in July, to which I say, “Hey, Christmas happens!” and “Thanks, Sweet!”.\u00a0 Also, while the Fuller Memorandum still isn’t in the picture, I have ascertained its location, so life can go on.
