Mt TBR report: December 2012

[calissa]

One of my resolutions for this year was to finish the year with less books on Mt TBR than I started. It is now the morning of 31 December and while it's possibly a little early, I'm calling it in. After all, I'm unlikely to finish any more books today due to my schedule.

Mt TBR Status
Mt TBR at 1 January: 146 books
Mt TBR @ 30 November: 135 books
Mt TBR @ 31 December: 135 books

Overall it has been a success, though not a wild one. It has been a remarkably slow year for reading and I am at a loss as to exactly why. Nevertheless I'm fairly pleased, even while hoping to do better next year.

Speaking of which, I am updating my MT TBR count in preparation for next year. There are some rereads I want to include and some books in Sahaquiel's collection (and my sister's) that I really should make space for. (Along those lines, if there's a book sidheblessed or darakat thinks I should borrow please let me know, guys!)


Books read
51. Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones
52. A Field Guide to the Birds of the ACT by McComas Taylor & Nicholas Day

I hope to get a chance to come back to it, but it was a loan from someone I'm no longer really acquainted with. I'll either have to track down a copy for myself or hope the library has one. At any rate, I think I've established that Diana Wynne Jones is definitely an author I want to read more of.

I suspect that my reading is going to remain slow, as I have more poetry and more chunksters--the remnants of Sherlock Holmes as well as Vanity Fair and Johnathon Strange and Mr Norrel. I can't say I mind all that much, though :D

Thanks again for the recommendation email. It's always good to try out some new things and there looked to be some good ones you mentioned. I've downloaded them all.

I'd be quite surprised if the library didn't have it at all. It's one of her best-known books.

Oooooh. Sounds lovely! I hope you'll enjoy Jonathan Strange!

May they be good recommendations for you. ^-^
