What've You Been Reading?
I don't have a whole lot of time right now as it's Crunch Time with the semester's end and several nasty deadlines - for this week! - looming over me (so my apologies if replies are incredibly slow and/or just fall to the wayside altogether in advance). Please can someone have a talk with Time and have it freeze it until I get/feel caught up on stuff? *whinge*
I've managed to get a neat amount of reading done this month - about 15 books in all and a slew of short stories I haven't bothered to keep track of. The most notable reading of the month is no doubt the two thirds of N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy that are out so far: The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms, both of which I really enjoyed.
Disappointments of the month were Emma by Jane Austen and Sabriel by Garth Nix, neither of which I finished. I may try them again at a later date.
What about you? What's your reading month been like? What stood out in any way?

Several historical mysteries: Sovereign and Revelation by C.J. Sansom (I really enjoyed this series)
The new J.D. Robb - Indulgence in Death (and then I reread the first 2 in that series)
A couple of mysteries set in Scotland - Blood on the Water by Galbraith and Kiss Her Goodbye by Guthrie
Moonlight Mile by Lehane and Blameless by Gail Carriger (which was tons of fun) and 2 graphic novels: Umbrella Academy v. 2 by Way and Exile by Gabaldon
