My original plan was to move on straight to the sequel, which came out earlier this summer, but I’m really intrigued by The Three Body Problem, so I’m probably going to pick that up so that I’m not *too* far behind all the other #sffbookclub discussion!

Finished re-reading Sparrow Hill Road, by Seanan McGuire. Imagine all the hitchiking ghost stories you’ve heard are true, and they travel the ghosts of long-dead highways.
It’s told episodically as a collection of stories about the same ghost, what she does, how she died, and her quest to stop her killer.

I realized why Sparrow Hill Road is taking longer than I expected to read, even though it feels like it’s going quickly: because it’s structured as a series of related, but complete ghost stories, I hit a breaking point part way through my lunch hour instead of continuing to read as much as I can until I need to get back to work. I’m probably reading 2/3 as much each session as I would otherwise.
