This month's theme is nonfiction:

A Grand and Bold Thing: An Extraordinary New Map of the Universe Ushering in a New Era of Discovery by Ann K. Finkbeiner; 3665 locs, 240 pp; Interesting story of the first large-scale mapping of the known universe.
Germs, Genes, & Civilization by David P. Clark;  4884 locs, 304pp;  Completely fascinating look at contagion as a driving factor of history.
Buddha by Deepak Chopra; 4272 locs, 288 pp; Interesting novelization of the monk's life.
Columbine by David Cullen; 7500 locs, 432 pp;  Gripping narrative of one of our nation's great tragedies.  I learned a lot that I didn't know, and corrected even more that I knew wrongly.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann; 6141 locs, 352 pp;  Not quite as interesting as I expected.

Running totals:  5 books, 26,462 locations, 1,616 pages.

[Margaret]

1. Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher           11487 locations                    
          A novel you can sink into and enjoy; numerous characters come together and problems are solved for
          the betterment of all
2. Threads: the Reincarnation of Anne Boleyn by Nell Gavin     6500 locations    
          Interesting concept - less successful in the execution; too talky, strange ending
3. The Long Walk by Stephen King                    4823 locations                    
          Riviting story - I would have liked to get to know the characters better.
4. Dies the Fire by S. Stirling                          9750 locations                      
          Great story and characters; a bit too descriptive in some places for me
5. The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines        5538 locations                         
          Fairytale princesses take matters into their own hands - interesting but it didn't really work for me
6. Kill the Story by John Luciew                      5460 locations                         
          Murder mystery set in the world of journalism, fast paced books that pulls one into the story
7. Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella    5719 locations                         
          Pure fluff and fun to read
