A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness

Why, oh why did no one warn me that this was a "My Boyfriend is a Vampire" book. Also ... it says "a novel" on the cover. Implies a single event, right? No, the damn thing is part of a series that isn't yet written. I noticed I was running out of pages before I ran out of story and went, ut-oh ...

Starship Troopers - Robert A. Heinlein
read this as an antidote to the irritation of the Witch book.

On the Beach - Nevil Shute
one of my online bookclub sets forth three challenges per month that I'm poor at meeting. I have to read something about siblings, something with a summery word in the title, and I forget the third one. Since I don't read books with drawings of Fabio on the front, I have chosen this as my Summery Word in the Title book. And it's also additional antidote to that witch book. I need to scrub that out of my brain, kind of like how you use the coffee beans to reset your scent receptors when checking out perfumes.
