What's ahead in 2014?  This year it's going to be primarily about romance, and rereading some favourite stories.  I'm not going to give specific clues, but this year I'm hoping to read romances about:

Spies
Early feminist activists
More pirates!
Scientists
Soldiers
...and an Arctic explorer!

Here's hoping I have more chances to read, read, read and review!
