Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Hello, hello! It's time for a Reading Round-up. I read a lot of books over the months of December and January, as might be expected, though most of December was taken up with a Kate Daniels re-read for reasons that will become apparent below.

I've watched a lot of people die.
