I forgot to mention another book I read in the middle of those last 4: Blacklist by Sara Paretsky. This is one of a series with female detective VI Warshawski - you might remember the movie with Kathleen Turner. I had read one other in the series before and disliked it, and should have learned my lesson and not bothered with this one. I can't put my finger on it, but I feel like I'm in a dark place when reading this author. The main character is action-oriented and competent, but she is sad for some reason that I don't fully understand. The stories move along and I keep waiting for something to make her proud or happy, but nothing does. It's depressing.
Besides the Great Books series, next up is Positive Discipline: The First Three Years: From Infant to Toddler--Laying the Foundation for Raising a Capable, Confident Child (Positive Discipline Library) by Jane Ed.D. Nelsen (thanks Principled Parent) and probably some kind of easy fiction I'll pick out at the library.
