There are no books for this week (unless you count the crockpot cookbook I bought, but that’s not quite the same) so the December reading post will be the Sunday substitute.  I’m mostly taking the weekend off since it’s the end of my vacation, but next week I’m hoping to get started on the next reviews I need to write (The Folding Knife by K. J. Parker and Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold) or perhaps the post on a book I didn’t finish.

Books read in December are:

47. Midsummer Night by Freda Warrington (Review)
48. The Folding Knife by K. J. Parker (To Be Reviewed)
49. Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold (To Be Reviewed)
50. Death Note: Volume 1 by Tsugumi Ohba (Will probably wait and review the whole graphic novel series instead of each individual volume)

Favorite Book of the Month: Tough one.  I liked all of these a lot.  I’m going to go with Midsummer Night, but this is a case where it could be any one of the three novels depending on my mood as they’re all very different but very good.  Midsummer Night was very atmospheric, The Folding Knife was very clever, and Memory was very fun and one of my favorite books in the Miles Vorkosigan series (out of the 10 I’ve read so far).

Currently Reading: A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge.  I’m a third of the way through it and I like it so far.  My husband told me I should read it since I was on vacation, but I actually didn’t end up reading that much over vacation so I’ve still got a ways to go before finishing it.

What did you read in December?  What did you think of the books you read last month?
