mellicious | Entries tagged with new books

I should say if you stumble across this that I have a new project: I'm putting my old paper reading journals online. (It's actually intended to be in a separate journal, and now it is - here's the corresponding entry, and it's just called Mel Reads.)

This list is books I bought in 2020 (probably mostly in Kindle format, if I know it's not I'll say so). Bold means I know I've read it at some point since. Many of the others I started reading and just haven't finished! Also I didn't start keeping the reading journal until the middle of the year, so I have no idea if the first half of 2020 is here or not! (It may be that I had been keeping a paper list and I just copied that over, but I don't remember for sure.)

The Physicians of Vilnoc (Penric & Desdemona)
In Their Own Worlds (stories)
Last of the Moon Girls (a freebie - First Reads, something like that)
White Out (First Reads)
A Curse So Dark & Lonely
The Unkindest Tide (October Daye #13 - paperback)
Someone to Romance (Westcott series)
Witch Is Where It All Began
Lost Horizon
Girl Waits With Gun (Kopp Sisters #1)
The Unspoken
Vanished (I think this is part of a series but I didn't write the name down)
Spindle's End (Kindle copy; I wore out my paperback)
A Killing Frost (October Daye #14?)
Throne of Glass (this is a series, right? but I never read any further)
Aftermath (paperback) (Chuck Wendig, a Star Wars book)
The Fifth Season
Ancillary Justice (another series)
Ahsoka (Star Wars - obviously!)
Lady Cop Makes Trouble (Kopp Sisters #2)
One Salt Sea (October Daye - another replacement for a paperback that was falling apart)
Masquerade at Lodi (Penric & Desdemona)
Lord of the Rings (it doesn't say but I think this was one big edition with all three books), & also The Hobbit
Touch Not the Cat (a book I had in paperback years ago)

That's the end of that list, but there's more on a separate page:
Night of a Thousand Stars (this one's a series, don't remember the overall name)
Serpent and Dove
The Assassins of Thasalon (more Penric and Des; that series is mostly novellas)
Thrawn Ascendancy
On Tyranny (pb)
The Once and Future Witches
Winterkeep (the Graceling series)
Silent in the Grave (a Lady Julia mystery)
Aftermath: Life Debt
Black Narcissus
A Court of Thorns and Roses (another series where I never read any further, although in this case - unlike Throne of Glass, which is the same author - I did actually like this book)
What the Dead Leave Behind (another mystery series but I don't remember the series name)
Cocaine Blues (Miss Fisher #1)
The Sookie Stackhouse Companion (hardback) and also a book of Sookie-related short stories
From Dead to Worse (pb)
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet
God-Shaped Hole (some book club was reading this)
Tears of Amber (1st Reads)

The Goblin Emperor
U.S. Grant (a combined edition of Catton's Grant/Civil War books, Grant Moves South and Grant Takes Command)
The City We Became
A Curious Beginning (another series which I never read any more of - this one is the same author as the "Lady Julia" books, I think)
The Dark Enquiry (Lady Julia series)
Coraline
Lincoln's Admiral
