Books Read 2013

It's rather late this year, but the end of 2013 and the start of 2014 has been a bit of a swirl, however here's the list of books I read in 2013, with plays in italics and re-reads with an asterisk:

 1. Platypus - Ann Mayal (24/12/12 - 12/1/13)
 2. Rousseau's Dog - David Edmonds and John Eidnous (25/1-21/3)
 3. Don Parties On - David Williamson (6/4)
 4. Secrets of a lazy French cook - Marie-Morgane le Möel (10-12/4)
 5. Single Spies: A double bill - Alan Bennet (25/5)
 6. Victory of Eagles - Naomi Novik (?/6-1/7) *
 7. The Matilda Women - Sue Rider (22/5)
 8. Explain Pain - David Butler and Lorimer Moseley (16/7 - 19/8)
 9. Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare (29/7 - 1/8)
10. The Fox on the Fairway - Ken Ludwig (6-11/8)
11. The Silver Linings Playbook - Matthew Quick (15/9)
12. The Maleficient Seven - Derek Landy (28/9)
13. Murder and Mendellsohn - Kerry Greenwood (8-10/10)
14. Gut Bliss: A 10 day plan to ban bloat, flush toxins and dump your digestive baggage
          - Robynne Chutkan M.D (1/11 - 23/12)
15. Imagine that... The history of technology rewritten - Micheal Sells (19-20/11)
16. The memory book - Everyday habits for a healthy memory - Judith Wiles and Janet Wiles (5-9/12)
17. The Crucible of Gold - Naomi Novik (25-26/12)
18. Dodger - Terry Pratchett (27-28/12)
19. The Ides of April - Lindsey Davis (29/12/13 - 1/1/14)

        So that's it - a total of 19. There may be one or two more that I've forgotten to note down (as I've edited this twice), but it's not a bad total.
         I was commenting to a friend recently that I don't read as many book as I did as a school kid, although I read more than I did last year which is good (even if that was due to having a few plays in there for 2013), taking me back up to the total of the years before; at the same time I think it was due more to having a bit more time on my hands due to health/work issues rather than a desire to read tearing me away from my computer.
