Read in December 2018

This is how my latest run of Book-A-Day ended. As I type this, I have posts written and scheduled through the 21st and have read books for posts through the 30th. So even if I utterly fail on the reading-a-book-a-day part of this project from this moment, I should still be able to have a post about a book every day through the end of the year.

But, of course, I intend to keep reading, so Book-A-Day is currently (tentatively) scheduled to run through about January 14. And here are the books that will end that run:

And that was that. I don't expect to keep up this reading pace in 2019, particularly given some changes in my work situation. But it was fun while it lasted. Let's see what I do manage to read next year: I'll list it here, whatever it is.
