January 2010 – In Review
I read 19 books this month. A bit lighter than usual for me, but those Codex Alera epic fantasy books take some serious time to get through and I spent a portion of time putting my library up on LibraryThing.com.
I started some new series:
– Westmark Trilogy by Llyod Alexander
– Sun and Moon by Holly Lisle
– Blood Ninja by Nick Lake
I also got caught up in a few series I am currently reading:
– “Princep’s Fury” (Codex Alera, Book 5) by Jim Butcher
– Darklight” (Wondrous Strange, Book 2) by Lesley Livingston
– “Kitty’s House of Horrors” (Kitty Norville, Book 7) by Carrie Vaughn
The highlights of the month were:
– “Kitty’s House of Horrors” (Kitty Norville, Book 7) by Carrie Vaughn
– “The Ruby Key” (Sun and Moon, Book 1) by Holly Lisle
The biggest disappointment of the month was:
– “Nightlight: A Parody” by National Lampoon
