All I wanted to do this month was to read. I tried to keep up with the review writing but I got behind, far, far behind. I will have to figure out how to catch up at least on some of it. Only eight of the titles I read were for 24 Festive Tasks (finding appropriate books has been a challenge) -- again, behind, far, far behind. I have met some new authors this month, some are keepers while other are one and done. I enjoyed the Agatha Christie November side-read by Josephine Bell and hope I can find more of her books on audio. The same can be said of not-quite cozy mystery writers Donna Andrews and Ellery Adams.  Martha Grimes's Richard Jury and Patricia Wentworth's Miss Silver are growing on me.  In fact, I have so many "project authors" to get through right now (Cleeves, Penny, Marsh, Pratchett and others) that I'm not sure I need to look for new authors for a while.  Ben Sheehan (worst book of the month), Daniel Mason and Peter Robinson are one and done-- the first for sure, the latter two at least for now.
