I just updated my reading list for 2012. It's here if you're interested. (Or over there on the left sidebar, under Not Just Cookbooks).
I like reading other peoples' lists of books and brief reviews. One of my favourites is Eric Idle's. (I hadn't read this for a few months so when I popped over to grab the link for you I took a moment to read the last couple of months' book entries and chuckled to see his [far more erudite and witty] review of The Daylight Gate speaks of it as mercifully brief, just as I did. Not sure why it gives me a little thrill of validation when someone famous agrees with me but there you go. Me and Mr Idle, soul mates. Do yourself a favour and read his blog while you're over there. It's worth it).
Aah, holidays. This is what January looks like. For another week anyway.

A good reading year by the look of it. All the books you (and other blogger mates) read stay in my head until I remember at the opshop - I'm a year behind but have read many great books this way. Thank you!
I love that photo of you relaxing. t looks just how I feel January should be.
So many books I need to read after reading your comments - thanks for the reviews.
you have such good taste in books - I can say this because I've read many of them! just put a resie on "Wool" sounds great, thanks.
thanks for the list and reviews. Lots of ideas here.
I haven't read many of the books on your list so thanks for giving me some new leads!
Are you undertaking your Jane Austen annual ritual with your last week?
Which left ?
I love looking at other people's book lists and I know you'll have lots of dicoveries that I'll want to hunt out for myself . Thank Heaven for thrift shops and public libraries !
Oh.. your January looks lovely - at least the next week of it!
I have to agree with your comments on Jean Plaidy. I love historical royal history too, and these are my favourite authors - Elizabeth Chadwick - especially her books on William Marshall and Sharon Kay Penman. A lot of research has gone into these and I have had many "bad mummy" days while engrossed in these.
Happy New Year
