Pretty sure that's everything.  Got quite a few in-progress/possibly-never-to-finish ones (mostly for school), but they will have to go on next year's list if I make it.

Happy new year!

Hellllllllo my dear friend, tis late late Claire! (Sorry, gah!) But yes it is an alright, fairly amusing book, though the narrator can get exceptionally annoying at times. I'll be bringing it home for Katie to read so you may as well if you like.
And yes indeed, it's an improvement on last year!
