New Year and all that jazz

We had a quiet new years with board games and hilarity and then we went for a walk on New Years day, which was nice.

2011 was an odd year. Work was crazy, real life was stressful and nothing really went anywhere. I did some new stuff, but much of it was very much of a muchness.
I'm hoping 2012 will hold a little more resolution and completion.
I don't make new years resolutions, I never keep them, but if I were to make them, I would like to, by the end of the year, be in better shape physically and financially. And that's about it. Anything else is gravy.

I'm going to go and try and get some more of my room tidied up now, and put together the uber book post of what I read in 2011, because there was rather a lot.

2011 Book Roundup

In which I read rather a lot.

2011 Books. 57 of them )

And that was everything I read last year. Quite a bit of YA fiction, mostly fantasy, and a bit of crime on the side. I started Reaper's Gale (book 7 of the Steven Erikson series) and didn't finish that until Jan 2nd 2012, and I started a non-fiction book that I have yet to finish because I can't find where I put it. What I didn't read was the new GRR Martin (I am rapidly failing to care, and only continuing because I have an OCD streak about finishing series) and the new Janny Wurts (I haven't had time as it came out right when I was reading other stuff, and I need to borrow it off someone).
I suspect that 2012 is going to be just as book heavy (at least I hope so) and if you're even remotely interested, I sort of review the stuff I read over at my GoodReads
