34.Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires Book 1), Rachel Caine
35.The Stars My Destination, Alfred Bester*
36.The Dead Girls' Dance (The Morganville Vampires Book 2), Rachel Caine
37.101 Dalmatians, Dodie Smith
As usual I haven't counted reference books (including RPG rulebooks) that I have browsed but not read through. I joined the SF reading group at a local book store, and the books marked with an asterisk were read as the monthly book for the group - though some I would have read anyway. Compared to the 20-25 I have managed in previous years it's a good haul, and (given that I count the end of the reading year as when I finish 101 Dalmations on Christmas morning) I'm off to a good start for 2010, having already finished Reflex, the sequel to Jumper. I've also got the fairly epic history of MI5 for Christmas though, so that might eat some reading time.
