It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

So now it's February.

January was pretty busy around here, so even though it was a nice, long month, I'm a little surprised that it's already over. But even with all our activities, I managed to get a few books read.

Finished in January:

• Bitter End (The First Nero Wolfe Novella), by Rex Stout
• In the Last Analysis (Kate Fansler Mysteries, #1), by Amanda Cross
• The Circus, by Jonas Karlsson 

Also one that I'm finishing up today (but will list it as a January read):

• Unexplained Laughter, by Alice Thomas Ellis

Those were all fairly short reads, and very entertaining — especially that last one. I read Alice Thomas Ellis's The Other Side of the Fire several years ago and loved it, too. I'm a real fan of her writing, but her books weren't easy to find until just recently.

Will try to get some short reviews up later in the week.

So far, this month I've started:

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
(which will probably be a year-long project)

and...

The Light After the War, by Anita Abriel

The Light After the War is due to be issued this month, by Atria Books. I'm reading an advance edition from NetGalley and hope to finish it up before its publication date. So I need to get back to the books!

Happy reading, everyone!
