Location: Great Lakes, USA		Since the day is almost over on the US west coast and I'm not going to finish another book before midnight, here"s my challenge update for November.

November Books
The Dragon Arcana - Trilogy, 35
The last of the Three Musketeers with Dragons books. These were fun.

The Handmaids Tale - Masterworks, 35, Guardian, Banned, Bucket, EotW
I see why this is a classic, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

Brown Girl in the Ring - Masterworks, AoC, 35
So much better than Sister Mine.

Snow Crash - Guardian, Second, 35, Subgenre
I would have liked this better had I read it when it came out. But, it was still ok.

Master of the House of Darts - Trilogy, AoC, 35, Detective
The last of the Obsidian and Blood Trilogy. Too bad there aren't more. I really liked these.

Ash: A Secret History - Masterworks, 35
Started this in January and finally finished it. Too many descriptions of wardrobe changes in the first third, so I got bored with it and finished it mostly while standing in line at Chipotle.

I joined the Detective SFF Challenge since I have already read 7 books that fit it. I have already chosen the other five from my giant TBR pile.

Six more to go to finish the 2014 Challenges + one for the Killer Bs which is done in January 2015. I should be able to finish since I have lots of vacation time over the holidays.
