Between the 1st and 7th of January this year, I read;
In Stitches - Nick Edward's memoir of his time as an A&E doctor. I read quite a few books by NHS personnel last year. This one was pretty good. Split into nice short chapters, some good anecdotes, etc. I gave it four stars.
Charmed Season 9, 3 and 4 - I bought myself both of these for Christmas. The television series, Charmed, ended with eight seasons, but a further season was produced in comic format. It reintroduces Prue in her afterlife, brings Cole back, and generally carries on with the series. I liked it a bit better than the last few season; although Phoebe still suffers from fantastic racism against Cole, she's not as much of a Mary Sue when Alyssa Milano isn't in charge. I gave both collections four stars.
Poems - Edna St Vincent Millary (Everyman Library) - I first heard of Millay a few weeks ago, during some random wikisourcing. I loved what I read on there, so requested this for Christmas. It's amazing. I love so many of her poems. She reminds me of Dorothy Parker. I also love the fact that she preferred to be called Vincent and that she won the Pulitzer prize for poetry in 1923. Five stars.
Gibbon's Decline and Fall - Sheri S. Tepper is one of my absolute favourite authors, and this is one of the books of hers that I like best. Five stars.
