Books read 2017

The list this year is pretty small, and the first time I've ever had more than one unfinished/given up on novel. Most of this was read on the train to and from work. Re-reads with asterisks

 1.  Uprooted (1-5/1)
      Naomi Novik
 2. The Graveyard of the Hesperides (5-10/1)
     Lindsay Davis
 3. Bhagavad Gita, As it is (9/? - unfinished)
     His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 
I gave up on this one, because a lot of the introduction kept getting interrupted with bits from the author, and I kept nodding off on the train ride.
 4. Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion... so far (?/5 - unfinished)*
     Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs 
I never finished this one as I left it behind on the railway station late at night after finishing work, and it wasn't handed in.
 5. Good Omens(17/8 - 5/9)*
     Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman 
I read this one on the announcement of the actors that would be playing the main characters, one of whom I was quite familiar with as an actor, to see how I pictured them through reading and if I could picture the actors as the characters. I could kind of agree with the one chosen to play one character, but based on simply the picture in the costume they'd decided to whack him into, couldn't agree with that.
 6. The Jane Austen Book Club (17/8 - unfinished)
     Karen Joy Fowler 
Didn't finish this one as this was lying around in the tea room at work,for a while, and then it vanished.
 7. Balthazar Jones and the Tower of London Zoo (16-25/10)
     Julia Stuart 
 8. Some buried Caesar & The Golden Spiders (26/10)
     Rex Stout
A double Nero Wolf story book, not burying the spiders with Caesar
 9. Love & Friendship: In which Jane Austen's Lady Susan Vernon is entirely Vindicated, concerning the beautiful Lady Susan Vernon, her cunning daughter and the strange antagonism of the De Courcey family (27-28/10)
     Whit Stillman
10. Artemis (29/10 - 7/11)
      Julian Stockwin
11.  The Pigeon Pie Mystery (8-15/11)
       Julia Stuart
12. Vindolanda (16-27/11)
      Adrian Goldsworthy 
13. Terry Pratchett's Discworld Imaginarium (25-31/12)
      Paul Kidby

Having now written them all up, with numbers, not as small as I thought it was at the start, though still smaller than I've had in previous years. I hope I read some more during 2018. I think I'll have to try and pay the local library a few more visits.
