31. The Drowning Spool by Monica Ferris
32. Think of England by KJ Charles
33. Kids Say the Darndest Things by Art Linkletter (re-read)
Short stories (do they count as a single story together? :P)
1. The Rest of Forever by Kate Aaron
2. Bill Bryson's African Diary by ... duh ... Bill Bryson
3. Eidolon by Jordan Hawk (Whyborne and Griffin interlude)
Read aloud and had never read before:
1-3. NERDS #3-5 by Michael Buckley
4. Spy School by Stuart Gibbs
5. The Witch's Boy by Kelly Barnhill
Read aloud (but had read for myself previously):
1. Ordinary Magic
2-? multiple Nancy Drew
I have the feeling I'm forgetting some read-alouds.
Started but didn't finish:
1. Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey (was using it as a placeholder until I could find my Kindle - was in the middle of Republic of Thieves at the time)
2. All the Paths of Shadow by Frank Tuttle - just got it for Christmas, but am temporarily setting it aside while I read some library books
3. Blood Red by Mercedes Lackey - the aforementioned library book. Obviously, I haven't gotten very far yet. :P
4. The Explosive Child by Ross Greene - read to midpoint, but need to implement some things at home before it makes sense to read further
I would have liked to have completed more books, but it's not any worse than I've done in some previous years. I've managed to get into the mid-40s several times, though, so it's a little disappointing this wasn't one of those years.
In news - the news from the AirAsia flight just breaks my heart. :(
To my friends in Australia and east Asia, Happy New Year! (I'll probably do my usual end-of-year meme tomorrow, but it'll be past New Year's in your area by then.) Have a safe and happy celebration.
