Read: Connie Willis - Blackout
Connie Willis is one of my favourite authors. Her books are difficult to classify - a bit sci fi/fantasy, with a love of history, capers, tragedy, and a sense of the uncanny.
'Blackout' didn't turn out to be one of her best, but that may be because it's one of a two-book set - I'll have to wait until this fall to see how the story ends. I'm willing to maintain faith.

A new start to recording what I'm reading
For years I kept track of the books I'd been reading by recording it in a notebook. And then I moved, and I never really found the right spot for that notebook, so I never knew where it was when I'd finished reading a book, and the system fell by the wayside.
And there's another notebook in which I'd record the books I want to read, although it mostly ended up as a collection of pieces of paper folded inside the cover. So now I'll bring both lists together in the same place.
And if I get really ambitious, I'll start a third list - books that are in my library!
