Now that the holidays are over, I’m hoping to get caught up on some of these reviews I need to write. December was a slow reading month since I was pretty busy with the holidays and getting a few things taken care of by the end of the year, but I did finish a couple of books at the end of the month and have a couple of books read in November to review as well. I’m now reading the 900 page Kushiel’s Dart and the 400 page hardcover short story collection The Oracle Lips, so reading some lengthier (and somewhat dense) books should give me some time to get caught up (I hope).

Here are the books that will be reviewed next (not necessarily in the following order):

• The Healthy Dead by Steven Erikson (started writing this one over the weekend)
• An Accidental Goddess by Linnea Sinclair (from my recent Linnea Sinclair reading spree)
• The Jackal of Nar by John Marco (#1 Tyrants and Kings)
• Miles Mystery & Mayhem by Lois McMaster Bujold (omnibus containing the novels Cetaganda and Ethan of Athos and the novella Labyrinth)
