For my book club at work. I thought this book was completely unengaging. How do they decide Nobel Prize winners anyway? Meh.
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
This was good, although I thought the book bogged down a bit in the middle. Engaging main character and interesting world-building (it's fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic Sudan). Although it's quite violent, especially in the beginning, and I could hardly read through that female circumcision scene, I was flinching and pressing my legs together so hard. Aagh.
I have got the next Inda books in the mail, so I guess that's next up!
