book list, March through May 2018

It's time for the continuing adventures of Liz and her reading list! These are the books I read in March, April, and May 2018. (I got slightly clobbered by tax season for a while there, whoops.) Click on the cuts for summaries and reactions. I reserve the right to spoil all hell out of any book if spoilery bits are what I feel like talking about. :)

I should probably also have listed the textbook for my anthropology course, since I read all but one chapter of it by the end of the course, but I never actually noted the title and I don't have access to the Blackboard course page anymore, so... oh well.

And now I am off to work, because we still don't have a replacement for Miss Cactus so I'm still working overtime. *sigh*
