So I've been in the habit of writing down what books I read every month. In case anyone cares (or has a list of their own to post), here they are:

Cut to the Quick by Kate Ross (1) Lovely little Regency England amateur detective story. The best mystery I've read in a very long time.
Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik (2) Not as good as the first one, in my opinion, but still good. I'll read the next ones.
Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin (5) Brilliant idea, probably could have been done a bit better.
The Mediator 6: Twilight by Meg Cabot (20) Cute and rather addictive series. Reminds me very much of Buffy.
Kitty Takes a Holiday by Carrie Vaughn (20) About a werewolf named Kitty. Not actually funny, but very very good.
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs (23) Another werewolf book.
Deception and Mistress by Amanda Quick (28) Standard romance fare. Very enjoyable even if you stop being able to tell the difference between the characters in the two books.
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (reread) (29) I LOVE these books!! Best romances EVAR! Very funny, well written, aparently historically accurate.
Hero by Perry Moore (30) About a gay superhero. The writing gets unclear during action scenes and some of the character motivation didn't make sense to me, but still quite good.
