1. The Ladies of Mandrigyn - Barbara Hambly (reread)
A book in the first week of the year! I'm off to a good start.
This was actually the first book by Hambly that I ever read, back in the ancient days of high school. I liked it at the time, but it didn't leave much of an impression. (That came later, when I started college and found a copy of Those Who Hunt The Night.) I'm so glad I've reread it now, because it's one of her most beautiful books, and now that I'm not a callow youth I can finally appreciate it. Also, if Hambly were to write a novel-length work of nothing but descriptions of light, I would preorder it in a heartbeat.
