Reading Roundup Wrapup: January 2019

Pick of the month: Beat to Quarters by C. S. Forester. I'm currently on the fifth book of a Horatio Hornblower (re)read, and so far the original one is still the one to beat. What a triumph of naval fiction, an utter delight in a world so alien to our own, completely embodied here, with some of the most fantastic action sequences in all literature. Sometimes this choice is hard; this month it is easy.

Obviously I acquired a lot of books this month, but I've been reading enough to compensate for that. But reading a lot means I've fallen behind in writing up my reviews.
