January 2010 - In Review

I read 19 books this month.  A bit lighter than usual for me, but those Codex Alera epic fantasy books take some serious time to get through and I spent a portion of time putting my library up on LibraryThing.com.

I started some new series:
- Westmark Trilogy by Llyod Alexander
- Sun and Moon by Holly Lisle
- Blood Ninja by Nick Lake

I also got caught up in a few series I am currently reading:
- "Princep's Fury" (Codex Alera, Book 5) by Jim Butcher
Darklight" (Wondrous Strange, Book 2) by Lesley Livingston
"Kitty's House of Horrors" (Kitty Norville, Book 7) by Carrie Vaughn

The highlights of the month were:
- "Kitty's House of Horrors" (Kitty Norville, Book 7) by Carrie Vaughn
"The Ruby Key" (Sun and Moon, Book 1) by Holly Lisle

The biggest disappointment of the month was:
- "Nightlight: A Parody" by National Lampoon
