Books of 2018- Installment #22

106. Elevation by Stephen King
I had heard that Stephen King wanted to write an uplifting story in the midst of this very depressing political time. I thought, "I'd like to read that." So I did. And it was.

107. Finding Baba Yaga by Jane Yolen
I came late to the Jane Yolen fan club, but I'm here now!! I love her and this book in verse is fantastic! I am definitely going to reread this book!!

108. The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
I loved The Lady Astronaut of Mars by Mary Robinette Kowal, so I was excited to read this book. Apparently many a library patron did too because it was a long wait for this book!

109. Every Anxious Wave by Mo Daviau
I heard about this book on the podcast What I Should Read Next. It sounded interesting and did not sound like something Anne Bogel would be into. I mean it has time travel in it! Yeah, sign me up! And it made me laugh! I need more laughter in my life!!

110. The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code by Margalit Fox
This was a fascinating story of the decipherment of an unknown written language. It took half a century to figure out what the language was. This book talks about the who and the how and really makes you appreciate Alice Kober- the unsung hero of this story!
