I know this isn't all the books I've read since January, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, so it's what you get for now.

1.Desolation Island by Patrick O'Brian. The only one of his books I've rad this year, I've been taking a little break from them. They are still some of the best naval books I've read, and I would recommend them to anyone. Just, start from the beginning.

2. Trick Or Treat by Kerry Greenwood. These books get better with each one. A completely different feel then the Phryne Fisher books (which, honestly, I do prefer) I find these to be nice light mysteries that entertain and keep me going. I love that they're set in Melbourne, and honestly, they're just lovely books.

3. Lord John and the Hand of Devils by Diana Gabaldon. A novella and two short stories from three different points of time for John. I loved them, but I think you would have to have read the Outlander books, or at least the other Lord John books to really click with them.

4. Ysabel, by Guy Gavriel Kay. Young Adult really, and sort of a sequel to the Fionvarr Tapestry. It wasn't what I expected and I didn't like it as much as I thought I might. I did enjoy it, I always enjoy his books, especially the ones where he weaves the modern with fantasy. Just not what I expected, it's the best way of saying it.

5. Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett. It's been a loooong time since I've read this book. I preferred it this time. Maybe it's because I see some of the characters in the game, maybe it was because I knew what happened next, and I could take my time enjoying it. Either way, a very good book

6. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. GAH! A Discworld book I hadn't read! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? I honestly don't know. Brilliant and wonderful. I loved the rats. I loved Maurice. I just loved the book. Read it, really. Just do.

Is that Kerry Greenwood part of the same series as Earthly Delights was? I really liked Earthly Delights (er, apart from the description of the goth club).
