Sunday 22nd of January 2012 ~ Notes

This is my first IMM post since/after:

• My desk collapsed (and I've actually got a book tower to support it :P)
• Christmas
• 2011
• All the author-blogger crap that's been going on
• SOPA and stuff

I got some really great books! I hope you did too. So, here we go. :)

Also, for anyone who celebrates, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow! Hoorah. I'll be going out for lunch or dinner with my family tomorrow, and that's why I'm up late formatting this stuff like a chump. I'll update this post with the "since last imm" segment and links if I don't finish it.

* All release dates go in the format (dd/mm/yy)

* Any books I have already read will have a sort of mini-review and the rating I have given it up now until written.

* = Up for swap
