September 2013 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews

Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update

I started September with 243 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …245! September was sort of a slow month for me reading-wise, a combination of being busy with work and having a few books that I found slow-going, and one that was fast-moving but looooong. But mostly the busy-ness thing. October’s looking to be a lot lighter work-wise, although I will be busy with guests, so who knows?

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

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

Audiobooks – The Last Guardian by Eoin Colfer – The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente
Read But Not Owned (Books) – The First Rule of Swimming by Courtney Angela Brkic – Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
Read But Not Owned (Graphic Novels) – Same Difference by Derek Kirk Kim – Fables: Fairest, Vol. 2: The Hidden Kingdom by Bill Willingham & Lauren Beukes
Re-Reads – Brothers in Arms by Lois McMaster Bujold – Borders of Infinity by Lois McMaster Bujold

Changes to the TBR pile

Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!) – The Keeper of Secrets by Julie Thomas – Kushiel’s Justice by Jacqueline Carey
Added and then read (um… huzzah?) – State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!)
– The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner (at least partly Redhead’s fault)	– XO Orpheus: Fifty New Myths ed. by Kate Bernheimer
– Kushiel’s Mercy by Jacqueline Carey	– Warriors ed. by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!)
– The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson (Dave’s fault!)	* Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest.
– The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett	– Sourcery by Terry Pratchett
– Mort by Terry Pratchett	– Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett
