Cool Darcy Chan & Andre Norton

Next I'm giving Darcy Chan's The Mill River Recluse a read. I decided on this book when Darcy Chan appeared in a panel discussion along with Hugh Howey and some others about independent publishing titled, How Authors Are Becoming Entrepreneurs which I posted in the Wool 1,2,3,4,5 forum.
Darcy Chan's The Mill River Recluse was a blast from my past to read. It was a lot like the stuff I was reading in the 1960's. It was engaging, personal and held my interest throughout this story about a little town in Vermont and some of the residents of that town.

Now on to an older (1955) one by Andre Norton, Sargasso of Space (Solar Queen, #1). It was a freebie from Amazon a short while ago and when I was on Amazon getting it I found the next two in the series also available as freebies. It's turning out to be an interesting enough read at 25% but it also has quite a few atrocious unrepaired scanning errors which makes me wonder if I'll bother with the other two freebies.
