I seemingly read a lot of books... but only #2 came from my actual list. On top of that, #1, 6, and 8 were for the Hugos (so not that many, either), #4 and 11 were read aloud to my son, and all the others were my daily breakfast comic book. Meh. I have been moving very slowly through one particular book for weeks now... I don't even know why, it's not even bad. Just gotta be more disciplined! Maybe I can finish it today and get the month off to a good start.

All books acquired:
  1. A Short History of the World by H. G. Wells
  2. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
  3. The Road to Oz by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by John R. Neill
  4. The Fantastic Four Omnibus, Volume 4 by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Archie Goodwin, et al.
