Read in February

The beginning of this month saw Book-A-Day end, after a whole year, and consequently the rebound effect has left this list much shorter than the usual for the last eighteen months or so. (The fact that I've been slogging through Connie Willis's Blackout and All Clear -- which are nearly as long, dreary, and confused as WWII itself -- doesn't help, either.) But here's what I have been reading in this short, dark, cold month:

• Jon J. Muth, M (2/1)
  
• Miriam Katin, We Are On Our Own (2/2)
  
• Kazu Kibuishi, Amulet, Book Three: The Cloud Searchers (2/6)
  
• Ian Frazier, Travels in Siberia (2/8)
  
• Daniel Pinkwater, Adventures of a Cat-Whiskered Girl (2/10)
  
• Bill Willingham, Mark Buckingham, et. al., Fables, Vol. 14: Witches (2/10)
  
• E.C. Segar's Popeye, Vol. 3: "Let's You and Him Fight!" (2/10)
  
• Connie Willis, Blackout (2/18)
  
• Kim Deitch, The Search for Smilin' Ed (2/20)
  
• Justin Halperin, Sh*t My Dad Says (2/20)
  
• Patricia Briggs, David Lawrence, & Amelia Woo, Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson: Moon Called, Volume One (2/28)
  Look for my review in the April issue of Realms of Fantasy.

And that's it -- three big books (one of which I haven't yet finished) and a smattering of short ones. Perhaps next month will be different; I hope to get to Among Others and Home Fires and One of Our Thursdays Is Missing and Tiassa Real Soon Now.
