I finished Lost Girls: and unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker. Meh. It was interesting but so disjointed. I kept waiting for everything to sort of come togeter but it never happened.

I have a bunch of books on the hold shelf cause everything came in at once. I need to sort through them and see what I want to read next.

I finished Rage Against the Dying. I liked it. Good thriller, fairly well written.

Up next is Cuckoo's Calling. I went through the Amazon reviews and it's interesting to see the split of tone before/after the reveal of the pseudonym.

I just started Night Film by Marisha Pessl. I'm totally hooked. I see a few hour reading binge in my future tonight.
