Stuff I’ve Been Reading: September 2011

Look!  With links!  Because I’ve actually reviewed a few of these due to my TBR mission.

1. The Proof House by K. J. Parker
2. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
3. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
4. The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
5. The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
6. A Conspiracy of Kings by Megan Whalen Turner
7. Touchstone by Laurie R. King
8. The Bell at Sealey Head by Patricia A. McKillip
9. The Curfew by Jesse Ball
10. Pirate King by Laurie R. King
11. The Folding Knife by K. J. Parker
12. The Manual of Detection by Jedidiah Berry

Best Mystery: The Manual of Detection, which I promise to review tomorrow, since I’ve only just finished it

Worst Mystery: The Pirate King, alas

Best Reread: The Queen’s Thief series, which is also the best read of the month, despite some other serious contenders

It looks like my life is going better than it was in June (10 books), July (11 books), and especially August (9 books).  The summer really set met back, though; I had hoped to read 200 books this year, but I’m three-fourths of the way through the calendar and have read exactly 120 books.  (I blame it all on K. J. Parker, who has yet to write a book less than 450 pages long.)

At least I’ll reach 150 books in 2011.  Fingers crossed.
