I seem to be making some progress on reading in January. Both the Stryker and Halberstam books were personal reading; Blood Oranges was for a review that'll show up on Tor.com soonish; the Darwin and the Pound were for their respective seminars; and the PhD Comics first volume collection was just something I've been reading a strip or two at a time.

While I know I've been keeping up a good habit of doing short reviews for things I've read over the past few years, it's something I think I'm going to put on hiatus for a while. The general workload is too constant and multifarious for much extra time to be available for blogging--and I found that knowing I had a bunch of books to write up made me less likely to do it. Ergo, less write-ups, unless I feel particularly motivated to do so (in which case I'm likely to just write an actual review instead).
