Books Read in December

Well, I managed to read only two books in December. What can I say? It's been a busy month what with getting ready for Christmas, going home for two weeks, and frantically doing all the "home" stuff I wanted to do. Anyhoooo, here's what I read:

Minnette Walters: The Shape of Snakes (good, but much too sad and disturbing really)
Elizabeth Gaskell: Wives and Daughters (Victorian and 622 pages and worth reading if you, like me, are into that sort of thing. And Mrs. Gaskell died before she finished writing the novel.)
