Well, Nessie and the Viking Gold was the last book I finished in June. If I had spent another hour or so reading on the 30th, I could have finished another. Instead, I read the last couple of pages of Talk Nerdy to Me as I sat down to breakfast on 1 July. Since then, I've read two other books: Nessie and the Celtic Maze by Lois Wickstrom and Jean Lorrah and Death by Inferior Design by Leslie Caine.

The Nessie books were bought from Fictionwise for less than $2 apiece -- solely because one of the authors was Jean Lorrah whose Sime/Gen books have been favorites of mine. Sadly this series was poorly executed even though the plots were pretty good. They needed to be fleshed out. The print editions of the trilogy run from 85-110 pages each and that's just not enough book to allow for good character development. I think the authors were trying for "chapter books" but missed the mark.

I am now 6/40 in this challenge.
