Reading Log 2013
Reading Log 2013
I have decided to continue the reading log I began in 2010 and continued into 2011 and 2012, listing all the books I complete in 2013. I will list by title, author, type of work, writer's country of origin, original date of publication with date of translation if not originally in English, and date read. An entry preceded by an (R) is a book that I am rereading, usually after many years. An asterisk indicates a book I particularly enjoyed. "SF/F" following "novel" means "Science Fiction/Fantasy"; "M" means "Mystery."
