Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		Hi DD,

I decided to join this challenge so I would have a place for the books I read for my SF book club. Last year, I worked each one into a challenge, but I ended up constantly juggling my selections because the book club only chooses its books 2 months in advance. And I didn't want to sign up for too many challenges this year because I'm doing a Tolkien challenge, where I'll be reading the Silmarillion and the other posthumous works. I'm going to research a lot of resources to help me understand those more complex works, so I don't expect I'll be reading enough books this year to do as many challenges as I did last year just to find places for my book club books. (Wow! Two run-on sentences in a row)

The book for January is The Martian by Andy Weir. It started out a little slow with so much engineering detail, but it's gotten very exciting. I'm about 2/3rds through.

I'm glad you hosted this again this year! And don't forget to put the link to this forum in your challenge.
