January Reads
I promised you all a best-of post ages ago, didn't I? I failed miserably at compiling one of my own.
The year has... not been off to the best possible start. (It's not been off to the worst possible starts either, though.)
I've managed to read a decent amount of books in January, though not as many as I'd have liked. Books I remember reading are...
The Last Light of the Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay
Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild (where have her books been all my life?!)
Whispers of the Cotton Tree Root edited by Nalo Hopkinson
The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler
The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
Flegling by Octavia Butler
Trickster edited by Matt Dembicki
I'm probably missing some, but I'm doing this from memory. I feel like I'm coming across as this whirlwind of activity, but I'm really not. Just disorganised and out of my element. (I'd like the universe to restore my laptop now, please.) I spent today curled up with Anna of the Five Towns. I'm so much further behind on my course reading than I'd wanted to be... (I've also been managing to stick to my TBR acquisition rules, though. Yay!)
Anyway! How's the new year been treating you reading-wise? Do you have any reading goals this year? Any challenges you've decided to participate in? Read any books that you can't get off your mind now that you've read them?

Reread Tamora Pierce's Lady Knight and Wild Magic. Also read Sarah Monette's The Bone Key (which I found...frustrating, like most of Monette's writing) and The Nanny Diaries, which I picked up via Bookcrossing (didn't really find it funny or particularly interesting).
