Location: UK		My random pick was Lian Hearn. I just finished Across the Nightingale Floor over the weekend, and enjoyed it. It's nice when that happens.

It's such a great series isn't it? Not well enough known.

Finished up this challenge earlier this week. I did the 12-pack and at least half of the titles I read would qualify as random picks. The highlight of the bunch for me was 'A Door Into Ocean'. Really enjoyed that one.

Location: UK		I finished this challenge at the weekend, with The Year of Our War by Steph Swainston, and it's my last challenge of 2017. I mean, I still have the whole of the Definitive '90s Challenge waiting, but it doesn't have to be completed this year.

Location: Alief, TX		Picked this up late in the year, so I stuck with the six-book level.

Mary Reilly, by Valerie Martin
The Shape-Changer's Wife, by Sharon Shinn
Palimpsest, by Catherynne M. Valente
Looking for the Mahdi, by N.K. Wood
The Starry Rift, by James Tiptree Jr
The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath, by Ishbelle Bee

If I had to pick one that was random, I would have to say the Tiptree. It's one I just grabbed off a clearance rack a couple of months ago, with no real thought. Most of the others were planned reads for other challenges. All fantastic books, in their own way. Palimpsest and Looking for the Mahdi were definitely my favorites.

Location: behind the 4th wall		In 2017, I read 49 female authors. Sixty of the 72 total books I read were written by women(83%). Yeah, this challenge is not challenging for me AT ALL.

These were my Top Ten reads by female authors.

1. City of Circles by Jess Richards
2. Keeper of Tales trilogy* by Ronlyn Domingue
3. The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden
4. Radiomen by Eleanor Lerman
5. The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Jane Rogers
6. Occupy Me by Tricia Sullivan
7. The Chimes by Anna Smaill
8. The Engine?s Child by Holly Phillips
9. The Book of the Unnamed Midwife and The Book of Etta by Meg Elison
10. The Red Tree by Caitlin R. Kiernan

*I?ve actually just begun the third book in the Keeper of Tales trilogy but am fully confident it will be as amazing as the first two.
