Location: Austin, Tx		Well...I'm sortof joining the Pick 'n Mix. I've found that despite my best planning efforts, I am still reading a few books that don't fit into any of my (many) challenges. I tried adding them to my spreadsheet with no challenge columns filled in, but those lines just sat there throwing off my groove. Now they have a challenge to call home and my spreadsheet remains colorful and complete.

My orphans so far:

* Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb - orphaned because it's the 3rd in a trilogy that I can't put down. I'm about 50% of the way through this one and had my second moment where I wanted to kick FitzChivalry in the ass for not immediately picking up a plot point.
* Pyramids by Terry Pratchett - My husband and I started reading out loud to our 3 month old daughter (to start a family habit early) and this is the book, but it doesn't fit with any of my other challenges. I get the feeling that any book we read like this is going to be an orphan, though perhaps I can convince him (since she doesn't understand what we're saying anyway) to go with something already on my list next.
