Road Narrative Update for January 2019: 02/03/19

I'm posting it later than I had planned because other new year related things took my attention.

I read nine books in January, up from three books in the previous month:

1. The Ghost Road by Charis Cotter (CCCC33: Siblings uhoria Blue Highway)
2. The Similars by Rebecca Hanover (99FFCC (scarecrow, utopia, maze)
3. In an Absent Dream by Seanan McGuire (99FF99: S/M utopia labyrinth)
4. The Extremely High Tide! by Kir Fox and M. Shelley Coats (66FF66: marginalized utopia offroad)
5. The Boy from Tomorrow by Camille DeAngelis (66CC66: marginalized uhoria offroad)
6. Lions and Liars by Kate Beasley (669966: marginalized wildlands offroad)
7. Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian (663366: marginalized rural offroad)
8. Black Hammer, Volume 3: Age of Doom Part One by Jeff Lemire (33FFFF: family utopia cornfield)
9. The Secrets of Winterhouse by Ben Guterson (3366CC: family home maze)

January's selection was a mixture of ages and genres.

Finally I wrote these essays:

1. FF33CC and FF3399: rural orphans in the maze and labyrinth
2. FF33FF: orphans in rural places surrounded by cornfields
3. FF6600: Orphans looking for home on the Interstate
4. FF6633: orphans going home along the Blue Highway
5. TFF6666: orphan going offroad towards home

December was focused on reading books purchased in 2018 as well as newly published books. Where possible, those books were also for this project.
