Dear Reader,
My winter reading list is now three weeks overdue. :-( I had planned to write a review to go along with this reading list, as is usually the case, but I'm afraid that I have many other commitments pressing in on my time. (Aside: I've noticed that my posts of late seem to beginning on this very same melancholy, apologetic tone. I'm going to have to do something about this, sooner rather than later.)
On a more positive note, I have quite a few intriguing posts planned for the near future, so that is something for you, dear patient reader, to look forward to. I also thought I might as well get the tedious matter of my winter reading list out of the way first, so I won't have to worry about it later one. Some of the following books actually form the last part of my 2011 Reading Challenge and it would by unfair if I bid adieu to the year 2011 without some mention of them. So without further preamble:
- Strait is the Gate by Andre Gide
- Enthusiasm by Polly Shulman
- Pretty Persuasion by Olivia Kingsley
- Peter and Wendy by J.M. Barrie
- Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
- Inheritance by Christopher Paolini (Confession: This very tempting book has been waiting on my bed-side shelf for well over a month now. I haven't touched it yet because I'm waiting for the holidays to begin before I become completely consumed by it, as will inevitably happen as soon as I touch it.)
- Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch
- Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
- Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne
- The Once and Future King by T.H. White
Now I must go fetch myself an essential cup of tea. Being British, and knowing very well about all the stereotypes, I truly believe there is no problem that I can't solve without having a cup-o-tea first. So a merry winter to all, and to all a good-night.
