And it’s barely<\/em> October!<\/p>\n

I read 14 books this month, which puts me at 133 books for the year, which means I’ve read more books by October than I read in all of 2008, 2010, and 2011.<\/p>\n

For what that’s worth. <\/p>\n

Which isn’t much.<\/p>\n

The best books were the Owen Archer series by Candace Robb (I believe this historical mystery series is completed),
\nBlood of the Earth<\/a> the new start of a new series by Faith Hunter<\/a> set in Jane Yellowrock’s world, and the second Rivers of London comic series, Rivers of London: Night Witch<\/a> by Ben Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, Lee Sullivan, Luis Guerrero. Plus I enjoyed Thor Volume 1: Goddess of Thunder<\/a>. That was fun, even if there was a crap of subtext I totally missed.<\/p>\n

You might find this hard to believe, but I actually read four<\/em> paper books this month!<\/p>\n

They were all comics, but still! Paper!<\/p>\n

And only two re-reads in September. Mostly because I was busy devouring the Owen Archer series.<\/p>\n

Genre-wise, it was predominantly mysteries this month, plus the comics.<\/p>\n

Fantasy : 2
\nMystery : 9
\nComic : 4<\/p>\n

As far as authors go, men were almost even this month, but female authors are still way ahead for the year. (And will likely stay ahead, since the series I just started, I discovered was written under a male pseudonym.)<\/p>\n

Male : 6
\nFemale : 8<\/p>\n
