I know some of the categories I will read in 2014.

One is NT Wright's Origins series. Given the length of these, I'm going to consider those five books to fill a category.

Then there will be the usuals: more theology, biography, cookbooks, needlework books ...

But it is always fun to see what else develops.

Congratulations!

I would have liked to finish two more food books to be able to get rid of the 'Other' category, but instead we watched Die Fledermaus this evening. However there were several half categories - and those varied enough that they didn't fit together.

Anyway, Happy New Year!
