Revisiting My 2012 Reading List

[osprey_archer]

Since I started posting my book log challenge lists, it’s been bothering me that I never posted the lists for years 2012, 2013, and 2014. I’ve decided to correct this, starting today with 2012.

You may notice that this list includes multiple entries for Frances Hodgson Burnett and Rosemary Sutcliff. In subsequent lists I decided that I could include each author only once per year, having realized that otherwise repeat author names might clog up the lists for ages.

Frances Hodgson Burnett - Editha’s Burglar

Franny Billingsley - The Robber Girl

Rosemary Sutcliff - The Chronicles of Robin Hood

Lisa See - Lady Tan’s Circle of Women

John Scalzi - Starter Villain

Rosemary Sutcliff - The Iliad. I never reviewed this book (or its companion The Odyssey. They had gorgeous illustrations by Alan Lee but otherwise were very standard retellings.

Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Cozy Lion. Didn’t review this one either. A bit of fluff.

Rosemary Sutcliff - The Odyssey

Elizabeth Wein - Cobalt Squadron

I struck out on Leon Garfield's Greek myths recently. I think it's genuinely hard to find good ones. I remember not liking Edith Hamilton as a child, either.
