December Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Happy 2010, everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves last night, and is recovering swiftly today. In the meantime, I thought I’d wrap up the damage I managed to do during December… I’ll save the 2009 wrap-up for this weekend.

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started December with 238 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* … 245! Could have been better – I spent too much time with library books and not enough time with my own TBR stack -but could have been way worse, too.

…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:

Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Audiobooks – Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld – The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Read but not owned – A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris – Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris – BtVS S8, Vol. 5: Predators and Prey by Joss Whedon – A Bigamist’s Daughter by Alice McDermott – Rapture of the Deep: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, Soldier, Sailor, Mermaid, Spy by L. A. Meyer – Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud
Re-reads None this month.

Changes to the TBR pile

Cleared from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris – The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver – Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin   Added to, then promptly cleared from my TBR pile (um… huzzah?) None this month.         Other removals from my TBR pile (meh?) None this month.   Added to my TBR pile (shame!) – The Secret History by Donna Tartt – Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrless (either Darla’s or Nymeth’s fault, I can’t remember) – A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony – The Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy, and the History of Comic Book Heroines by Mike Madrid – Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey – Captivate by Carrie Jones – Grimm’s Fairy Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm – Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton – Why We Do It: Rethinking Sex and the Selfish Gene by Niles Eldredge – Everything Matters! by Ron Currie, Jr. Other Non-TBR Book Acquisitions – Tomato Rhapsody by Adam Schell (signed!) – Mix Shake Stir by Danny Meyer (bermudaonion’s fault) – Pints & Purls: Portable Projects for the Social Knitter by Karida Collins and Libby Bruce (Okie Librarian’s fault)
