Mt TBR report: January 2012

[calissa]

One of my resolutions for this year was to finish the year with less books on Mt TBR than I started. So far, I haven't been at all successful:

Mt TBR Status
Mt TBR at 1 January: 146 books
Mt TBR at 31 January: 147 books

I can't even blame my Kindle, since I have only picked up one new book for it. It seems I have a wide contrary streak so that if I say to myself "no buying new books" I immediately go and buy new books. I don't mind too much, at least not at the moment. The year is still young, after all, and I have (the perhaps somewhat naive) faith that I'm not contrary all the time.

Books read
1. Five Historical Feasts by Gillian Polack
2. Colour Bleach by Tite Kubo
3. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
4. The Horns of Ruin by Tim Akers
5. Naamah's Kiss by Jacqueline Carey (*reread)

4/2/2012 ETA:
In sorting through my record of Mt TBR to cull a list of books I definitely want to read this year I discovered I had a duplication. So overall Mt TBR has only increased by one book, not two. Not bad going.

It is nice to realise I have one less book than I thought. It turned out that my electronic subscription to ASIM and the paper one overlapped by one volume. I'm still glad to have the paper one, though, because a friend of mine wrote and illustrated a rather interesting story for it.

If you feel called to read Blood and Iron before then, feel free. I don't want to put you to any trouble. It just seemed like an intriguing book.
