November Wrap-up/December's Plans 2012


November was another interesting month. I felt like I haven't had much reading done but when I look back at my read list, it's actually not bad, especially that Thanksgiving was this month and that whole week I hardly read.

So here's what I read:

1. The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
2. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (re-read)
3. The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian
4. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
5. "The Transition of Juan Romero" by H.P. Lovecraft
6. "The White Ship" by H.P. Lovecraft
7. "The Street" by H.P. Lovecraft
8. "The Doom that Came to Sarnath" by H.P. Lovecraft
9. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
10. The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal, read by Mandy Williams
11. Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore
12. "The Statement of Randolph Carter" by H.P. Lovecraft

6. Heal My Heart, Lord by Emilie Barns
7. Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen
8. The Strain by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan
9. Evert Day by David Levithan

    1. I haven't seen it posted either. Now that it's December, maybe they'll start announcing it.
