Books read in November

Final Orbit, by Chris Hadfield
A continuation of his series of Apollo-era thrillers set in space & on Earth, this is a frantic journey through so many concurrent crises that the character development suffers a bit.

The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman
I continue to like Osman's style - short chapters, each focused on a different character driving the investigative plot forward in a really engaging way. But this is not a stand alone book. From the first page you need to know who 10 or so characters are and what their relationships are with each other.

Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
I've heard good things about this fantasy series for quite a while but hadn't read them. But I was killing time in a cute little New England village, stopped in a local bookstore and picked them up on a whim. I really love the way these books build friendships and bonds between diverse species of characters.
