Seriously. The weather was mostly crap, so there was little hiking, and it felt like it rained most of the time, so even getting out to walk was unlikely. I read so much I&#8217;m not even going to tell you the number, because it&#8217;s ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because I went on a binge to catch-up on as well as re-read several series. I re-read and finished Carrie Vaughn&#8217;s Kitty series, I got caught up (excluding the most recently book) Ilona Andrew&#8217;s Kate Daniel&#8217;s series. I&#8217;ve started re-reading Robert Crais&#8217; Elvis Cole series, and I&#8217;ve begun (finally) Faye Kellerman&#8217;s Drecker and Lazarus series. (I finally went back and got another library card, and have been using Overdrive for a lot of books, which is AWESOME.)<\/p>\n<p>So what was good? I really enjoyed the start of the Rat Queens comic series, even if book three went off the rails. I also finished Princess Ugg, and got caught up on the latest Rivers of London. I finally read (and loved) Randall Munroe&#8217;s What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. It&#8217;s a delight.<\/p>\n<p>And I finally got around to reading Daniel O\u2019Malley&#8217;s <em>The Rook<\/em>, which I very much enjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m now all caught-up on listening to Faith Hunter&#8217;s Jane Yellowrock series, and have shifted to listening to Robert B Parker&#8217;s Spenser series while I walk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus &#8211;
