Grow your own Tea - Christine Parks & Susan M. Walcott

 This is a fantastic book with experiences you can tall the authors collected from real life experiences. I would say this is a must for anyone who does want to grow their own tea plants. If I ever get somewhere to grow tea, I'll totally buy this as a primary reference!

Hollywood Dead - Richard Kadrey (Sandman Slim Series, Bk. 10)

 Fantastically fun, very gross. When looking up the series to find which title to read next, I saw a comment that this book was sorta slow and a place-holder for the series.  I would disagree with that. I thought it was right in line with the normal running about like a crazy person that this author specializes in! It was great.

The Dark Tower - Stephen King (The Dark Tower, Bk. 7)

 The final end of this series that took 4? decades in the making. I'm certainly glad I didn't have to wait in real time for them to come out! It was pretty much everything you'd expect based on the rest of the books. It was a wild ride, but I wouldn't say it is King's best work. However, I love him writing himself into the books. It gives is a touch of 4th wall without actually punching through it. It's fun. So long, Roland.

Swing Trading: Comprehensive Guide of the best proven strategies - Mark Zone

 Great introduction. I'd already stumbled across most of this stuff, but the reminder is always good. This is a pretty good first look.

Trapped - Kevin Hearne (The Iron Druid Chronicles, Bk. 5)

 I liked that this book got into the lore a lot more and explained some things. It makes it more interesting. This was satisfying. I still recommend this series.

Winterkeep - Kristin Cashore (Gracelings Realm, Bk. 4)

 Great book. I thought this was better than the last one in the series. We had some selfish people, some assholes, some idiots. Pretty good story.

Faust (full dramatization) - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 I think I'm going to have to go back and read the actual book. This was basically an audio recording of a play, and I feel like I missed a lot because of that.  Also, the end just didn't make any sense at all. Faust is supposed to be the greatest of German literature, but I'm just sitting here confused.
