The Girl in the Woods

Gregg Olsen

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I picked up this book at a thrift store because one character has the same name as me. Not the best reason to pick up a book. I just couldn't get into it. Serial books that follow homicide detectives have never really been my thing. 

The Blessing Way

Tony Hillerman

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

"The Blessing Way" seemed interesting, but after a few chapters, I realized it wasn't quite the right fit for me right now. There was a lot of unfamiliar vocabulary related to Navajo culture, which slowed me down as I tried to understand the context. The focus on rituals and beliefs was fascinating, but I was hoping for a faster pace with a quicker jump into the core mystery. Additionally, with the dual narrative and the use of some Navajo phrases, I felt like I needed to put in more effort to follow along than I was in the mood for at this point.
