...a necessarily incomplete, and depressingly short, list. I was so busy at the three jobs this year that I couldn't focus on something as long as a novel. I read a lot of New Yorker articles. Man, the New Yorker rocks.

Anyhow...reproduced from memory, poor tool that it is.

Mrs. Caliban, Rachel Ingalls
Five-Finger Discount, Helene Stapinski
Suds in Your Eye, High Time, Wait for the Wagon, Mary Lasswell (the first three novels detailing the adventures of Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham, as discussed in this post.  If anybody'd like to (re-)read these, let me know, I can pass them on for the cost of the postage.)
Gale Force, Rachel Caine
Girl Genius, Volumes 1-7, Phil and Kaja Foglio
Undertow, Elizabeth Bear
A Night in the Lonesome October, Roger Zelazny (annual re-read)
The Shortest Way to Hades, Sarah Caudwell (re-read)
Tinker, Wen Spencer

blink, Malcolm Gladwell

**"Read" is slightly misleading in this case; the book has no words.  It's put together like an old photograph album, and tells the story of a man who leaves his family to find a better life for them in a new country.  Goes on the keeper shelf.
