Favorite books read?
Everything that I read by K.J. Charles and Courtney Milan, but particularly K.J. Charles's Society of Gentleman trilogy which is the most beautifully politics-heavy romance series ever. As in Publisher's Weekly complained about it.
Least favorite?
<i>Wanted, One Scoundrel</i> by Jenny Schwartz, which I read because I was in desperate need of steampunk suffragettes, but suffrage just turned out to be an excuse for the hero and heroine to meet and the steampunk had no impact on the plot until the last minute. It was your standard bad-guy-tries-to-force-heiress-to-marry-him plot.
Oldest book read?
<i>Jekyll and Hyde</i>, I think
Newest?
Virtually everything I read this year had just come out.
How many re-reads?
Just four, I think, Pub-Lit books I'd already read
Most books read by one author this year?
Probably K.J. Charles, although I'm not checking. Besides the Society of Gentleman trilogy, there was <i>Rag and Bone</i> and <i>A Queer Trade</i>
Any in translation?
Some I'm sure but it's hard to keep track when I'm not picking them myself
How many of this year's books were from the library?
Twenty-two, I think, but it's hard to keep track when I read some from the library and received copies from the publisher later.
Book that most changed my perspective:
I don't know that any book really qualifies for this.
Favorite character:
Cyprian in the Society of Gentlemen
Favorite scene:
The bit in <i>Futuristic Violence in Fancy Suits</i> where The Hyena is debating that alias, I think. There were lots of great scenes in that book
Most inspirational in terms of your own writing?
Probably <i>Her Every Wish</i>
How many you'd actually read again?
Probably around thirty? Most of the ones I picked myself
Maybe I'll do a general year in review later this week, maybe not.
