Reading Roundup Wrapup: October 2024

Pick of the month: Sheine Lende by Darcie Little Badger. I didn't read much this month, but this was clearly the best of what was otherwise a mediocre bunch. 

All books read:

1. Sheine Lende: A Prequel to Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
   
2. The Ozmapolitan of Oz by Dick Martin
3. Storm by Eric Jerome Dickey et al.
4. The Neurodiversiverse: Alien Encounters: A Science Fiction Anthology of Stories, Poetry, and Art edited by Anthony Francis and Liza Olmsted
5. The Ascent of John Tyndall: Victorian Scientist, Mountaineer, and Public Intellectual by Roland Jackson [unfinished]
   

This was a tough month. There was, for example, a hurricane; that and other things conspired to knock me off my groove, and I only got back into my regular reading routine in the last few days of the month, just in time to finish The Neurodiversiverse. This was my worst month since February 2022, when I read three books. Hopefully next month is better!
