Read More Books, 2007

In January my resolutions were, as ever, to Read More Books, Dammit! and to Go to the cinema more. Not big on introspection but very big on realism. Even so I haven't managed as well as I intended, especially on the book front.

Brief reviews below. No real spoilers here, but cut for length

The books I read in 2007:

( 1. Magic for Beginners )

( 2. Coalescent )

( 3. Exultant )

( 4. Circle of the Moon )

( 5. Transcendent )

( 6. Never Have Your Dog Stuffed )

( 7. Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets )

( 8. The Character of Cats )

( 9. The Ladies of Grace Adieu )

So, only nine books. I enjoyed them all, but I do feel like something of a failure in the Read more books, dammit! stakes. Maybe next year.

EDIT for obligatory statistics: Hey, I only read 9 books but 33.3% were by female authors. Go me! Then again another 33.3% were by Stephen Baxter so it's possible the small sample size is skewing the data. ;-)
