Book poll for 2013

Another relatively short list this year. I have a smartphone now and I tend to read blogs or downloaded fanfic on it more than real ebooks. I should try to do something about that. I have been listening to a lot of short fiction via the Escape Pod podcase, which I recommed for daily commutes.

The poll is late this year because I spent the week between Christmas and new year working of my first (and likely only) fanvid. That also probably cost me a book or two for 2013, since I often try to finish up books-in-progress before the new year. My only real resolution this year is to get more and more regular sleep, but I'm going to try to read more, too.


[Poll #1950979]


The most interesting non-fiction book was probably Sleights of Mind. Gone Girl was the most engrossing of the fiction, although the Neil Gaiman stories came close.

I am currently in the middle of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, which is very good, but not something I find myself reading quickly.

Found you via bookclubfiction LJ comm.

Congrats in your fanvid. So it cost a couple books but at least you have something to show for it.

What did you think of manic?

I'm not sure what I thought of it. My reading was colored by my experience with a bipolar family member and I'm always making comparisons.

Heh. I have a bipolar family member too, which is why I asked.
