Plans for the New Year:

My plot plan for 2014 is to concentrate on several series rather than just jumping around like a loonie from one series to another. We'll see how well that works.
Series I hope to concentrate on:

Ian C. Esslemont and Steven Erikson Malazan Empire
S.M. Stirling's Alt History Nantucket Event extended series
Jo Walton's Farthing series
Connie Willis 's Time Travel Series
Iain M. Banks Culture series
Susan Hill's Simon Serailler series
Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series
Alan Furst's Night Soldier's series
Charles Finch's Charles Lenox series

No doubt I'll read other stuff as well, but I hope to maybe catch up with these. We'll see!
