Location: Great Lakes, USA		I've read three books for this challenge and all were random! I guess I didn't have to scroll through the list of women authors with my eyes shut. I picked Fear the Drowning Deep by Sarah Glenn Marsh that way. It was a young adult novel full of teen angst and young love and teens save the town without the adults really knowing - not my type of book. I rarely like young adult novels. The second random pick was chosen because of comments made in the add books to the database forum. The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood was interesting. But, I am not sure that it's really genre. There were no fantastical, futuristic or supernatural elements to this book. It was a study of human nature. The third showed up on the daily random picks feed. I used to swim at Quintana Beach when I lived on the Gulf Coast, so Tales of the Quintana Roo caught my attention. It is a collection by James Tiptree, Jr. centering on the mythology of the Mayans in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. It was the best of the three. So much for my planned reading list. All those random books throw me off track to complete my challenges. But, they are fun to find and read.
