\"Paladin's<\/a>Somewhat anti-climatic after my end-of-the-year roundup, but here it is anyway: the books I read in December.<\/p>\n

Multiple new reads here–including two audio-first books. (I almost never listen to audio books I haven’t already read.) It most likely worked because I had a lot of organization and cleaning and sorting I needed to do.<\/p>\n

So yay for T. Kingfisher<\/a>! But it was weird hearing Khristine Hvam narrate something that wasn’t by Faith Hunter. Clocktaur War series by T. Kingfisher<\/a><\/p>\n

Great entries into Richard Osman<\/a>‘s Thursday Murder Club series and Stephen Spotswood<\/a>‘s Pentecost & Parker series. <\/p>\n

I was expecting to love The Last Devil to Die<\/em><\/a> , but I’d put off reading Secrets Typed in Blood<\/em><\/a> because I wasn’t certain I was in the mood for it.<\/p>\n

\"Murder<\/a><\/p>\n

There were also great continuations of fantasy series I’ve been reading. Morgan Stang’s books aren’t going to be for everyone, but I quite enjoyed them. And of course I read the latest Saint of Steel book as soon as it came out.<\/p>\n
