dead-tree reading 2011

Here's a list of books I've read this year. They are more or less arranged in the order I read them, but also grouped by series. You'll notice that the second half is rather dominated by German titles which is mostly because I was too broke to buy books due to all the vet costs I've had, so I was limited to the library selection. Thus I've read a mix of fantasy, historical YA and mysteries.

- Crown of Stars Vol. 6 & 7 (In the Ruins, Crown of Stars), by Kate Elliott
- Evernight series (Evernight, Stargazer, Hourglass, Afterlife), by Claudia Gray
- Mercy Thompson series 2-6 (Blood Bound, Iron Kissed, Bone Crossed, Silver Borne, River Marked), by Patricia Briggs
- Hendrik Bischop mysteries 1-5 (Der Tote im Fleet, Der eiserne Wal, Die rote Stadt, Der blaue Tod, Die Schattenflotte), by Boris Meyn
- Der Bilderjäger by Boris Meyn
- Ghost Story, by Jim Butcher
- Midnight Riot and Moon Over Soho, by Ben Aaronovitch
- Broken Kingdoms and The Kingdom of Gods, by NK Jemisin
- Julians Bruder, by Klaus Kordon
- Trilogie der Wendepunkte (Die roten Matrosen oder ein vergessener Winter, Mit dem Rücken zur Wand, Der erste Frühling), by Klaus Kordon
- Rosina mysteries 1-4 (Tod am Zollhaus, Der Sommer des Kometen, Lorettas letzter Vorhang, Die zerbrochene Uhr), by Petra Oelker
- Krokodil im Nacken and Auf der Sonnenseite, by Klaus Kordon
- Geschichte eines Deutschen, by Sebastian Haffner
- 1848, by Klaus Kordon

I also reread the Allison Kaine mysteries by Kate Allen and some by Patricia Cornwell.

2011 art roundup

Compared to 2010 there was a slight uptick in productiveness. This year I made six pieces of art, 36 drawbles/doodles, and seven icons, though depressingly there were three months entirely without art. In comparison 2010 it was four pieces of art, 28 doodles/drawbles, one icon, and also three months without art; 2009 five pieces of art, 20 doodles/drawbles, three icons and six months without art. Maybe at some point I'll have a year where I can do one of those memes where you need to put in one preview picture for every month.
