I don't think I can manage writing a retrospective post about my personal life, because it would necessitate discussing WisCon, and I am so fucking sick of WisCon.

Instead, here's a list of my favorite books read in 2014:

Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary by Pamela Dean
Alias, volume 4: The Secret Origins of Jessica Jones by Brian Michael Bendis
History of the Rain by Niall Williams
A True Novel by Minae Mizumura [This one was probably the best.]
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
The Dubious Hills by Pamela Dean
The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar
The King's Dragon by Kate Elliott
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
Pioneer Girl by Bich Minh Nguyen
An Everlasting Meal: Cooking With Economy and Grace by Tamar Adler
The Twelve Kingdoms: Skies of Dawn by Fuyumi Ono

I used to read science fiction almost exclusively - I spent a lot of time in the Star Wars expanded universe as a kid.
Somewhere along the way, I seem to have converted almost entirely to fantasy.



I don't have any resolutions yet.
My goals from 2014 are here. I utterly failed at writing.
I technically saw both Fall Out Boy and Paramore live, but it was at a single concert/venue.
Overall, I think I am not very good at keeping resolutions, but I always have an impulse to make them at the beginning of the calendar year.
Still working on this. & will give consideration to additional goals, if I can get myself to commit.
