Links go to my reviews on Goodreads.com. On my recent vacation I managed to close a little bit of the gap for this year’s Goodreads Challenge, and at the moment I’m about 3 books behind pace. I blame much more interesting and busy weekends, as well as the giant stack of magazines I seem to have accrued.

• Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, Robin Sloane
• Hotel Pastis, Peter Mayle
• Tenth of December, George Saunders
• Vampires in the Lemon Grove, Karen Russell
