January
1. Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald (graphic novel) by Neil Gaiman
First time reading. (I had already read the original story, just not this adaptation before, which has been waiting for me to get to it.)
2. Twenty Million Yankees: The Northern Home Front by Donald Dale Jackson
First reading. (I had already read its opposite number in the series, for the Southern Home Front, and have now finally gotten to this one.)
3. Ambulance Ship by James white
Re-read; it's been on my to-read list for a very long time, and I'd forgotten most of the final story in the collection. Part of the omnibus Alien Emergencies.
4. Getting Organized (revised and updated) by Stephanie Winston
Re-read but first time through the revised edition.
5. Sector General by James White
Re-read for some of it, but I don't recall ever reading the last couple of stories in the collection at all. This is also part of the omnibus Alien Emergencies and completes my reading of it.
