Rated Amber Earns Her Ears: My Secret Walt Disney World Cast Member Diary 6/10

The first half was pretty fun to read and offered a neat balance between slice-of-life and the experience of working at Disney World. The second half, however, was as much of a slog to read as I imagine it was for Amber to write.

Rated Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think 10/10

Finished reading Empire's End

Rated Mythology 8/10

This book seems to me an excellent source for Greek mythology. The author is clearly passionate about the subject, and knowledgeable enough to give the book a clear structure. The introductions to the larger stories discuss the various authors who adapted the story, and how she selected from those authors while writing her own, making sure that the reader knows more than just the basic story itself.<br/><br/>A small chapter about Norse mythology is tacked on to it, Mythology would be a better work without it. Other important works of mythology are equally missing, so I do believe it fails as an overview of mythology. Nonetheless, the treatment of Greco-Roman mythology forms the meat and bones of this book, and it is top-notch. Just skip the chapter about Norse mythology.

Rated Queen's Shadow 8/10

While I would have preferred to see Claudia Gray handle the character of Padmé, Johnston still delivered a fairly competent character study. It neatly ties in with <i>Princess of Alderaan</i>. The actual plot is perhaps a tad too dull.
