2013 in reading

2013 was a good year; I read a lot of great books.  Top three in the order in which I read them:

1. Night, by Elie Wiesel (first in a series; I didn't like Dawn and Day nearly as much, but they are still affecting)
2. Behemoth, by Scott Westerfeld (second in a trilogy; the others are worth reading, too)
3. Crossing to Safety, by Wallace Stegner

Other highlights/favorites:

• The new Bujold novel
• Catching up on  Kelley Eskridge's collection of stories, Dangerous Space, and feeling sad that it's been 11 years since her wonderful novel Solitaire.
• Discovering Mary Robinette Kowal's "Glamourist Histories", starting with Shades of Milk and Honey
• Finally getting around to reading Lan Samantha Chang's collection of stories, Hunger
• Being introduced to Nancy Mitford's books by my SIL 
• Finishing the year with Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's and "A Christmas Memory".  Regardless of his later output, he was a fabulous writer at this point in his career.
