Seventeen books for the final quarter of 2018. No physical books completed though a few were progressed, ten of these seventeen were re-reads.
My total of the year is SEVENTY books read! I think that is a record for me: 2017 was 42, ‘16 48, ‘15 and ‘14 were 18 and 2013 was 19, 2012 was 41 and that was the first year that I kept tab. Of course this was a year that I started re-reading the entire output of Terry Pratchett, and I can knock-off a Discworld book in two days easily, so that helps.
39 books were re-reads, obviously lots of those were Pratchetts as I got up to #28 plus Good Omens and also re-read John Scalzi’s output. No physical books were included in this year’s count as this list is almost exclusively science fiction and fantasy. I did include Hugo nominations, but only novel and novella nominees.
On to commentary! And I’m going to combine the Discworld books together and also the two Murderbot stories together.
I’ll be doing a later post on what I think were the most notable reads of the year.
