Books of 2008
I started a list of the books I've read in February last year and yesterday it had come to this:

Death Masks by Jim Butcher
Something from the Nightside by Simon R. Green
From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris
Summer Knight by Jim Butcher
The Game by Diana Wynne Jones
Grave Peril by Jim Butcher
Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers
Claymore 1 by Norihiro Yagi
It has been a year of Dresden Files, of longing for and then devouring Gaiman's Graveyard Book, of steam-punk, urban fantasy and of romance (notably pirate romance, the bodice-ripping-kind). 43 books and one manga. I haven't listed the graphic novels I've read but that would be around twenty or so. That would also be the number of times I've read my own book (and I'm rather sick of it by now). It has gotten some sweet attention though, here it's called the "unpublished urban fantasy masterwork of the year". I'm not sure it's justified, but it gladdens me anyway!
