7. Other-Worldly week

Pierce Brown – Red Rising. Science fiction.
Guy in the lowest caste of a future society has toiled like a slave in horrible living conditions, only because he believes his work will enable future generations to live on Mars. Turns out the rich have been living the good life on the surface there for a very long time. Now he wants the good life for himself, and to bring down those who took advantage of him…by infiltrating the highest caste of all.

Charlaine Harris – Dead Until Dark. Paranormal romance/mystery.
I know—Unbelievable that I haven’t read this cult classic by now. That’s because I have a very low opinion of romance books, and I’m no fonder of the paranormal. I’m sure plenty of people enjoy one or both, more power to them, but only a book challenge can have me reading something like this. My highest hope is that I don’t get a terminal case of vertigo from the eye-rolling I expect from it.
