December Books in Review

As usual, I mostly read novels - 153 of them. The vast majority were Carola Dunn's mysteries and Agatha Christie's mysteries. I have not had the strength for anything more. Comfort reading all the way baby.

Plus 31 magazines (mostly art magazines), 21 books about art, 4 short story collections, 2 plays (both Agatha Christies) and 65 non fiction works. The non fiction was a split between biographies, guides to parenting and autobiographies by people who have chosen in some way to live off the grid. I am filled with admiration for people who 'riot for austerity' but life was so blegh this year that there was very little green living.
