I had a better year this year than the previous.
U’m curious, does this list represent all the books you read, the books you liked best, the books you reviewed, or…?
For many years, I’ve kept a journal of the books I read. Over the years, with an occasional move and accidents, some of the earliest have gotten lost or destroyed. When I started blogging, I moved the journal to monthly posts.
These are the ones I finish, so It’s all likes. I have a three step shot for each book. If I have trouble getting into a particular volume, I lay it aside and try something else, coming back later.
I do that because a problem with a book may be my fault: illness, tiredness, my mood, etc. But if I can’t get into one three different times, I never try a fourth. And there are some I never finish.
The books listed each month are ones I finished.
Great variety, Randy! All you need now is some historical adventure in the mix. May I suggest Bernard Cornwell? Either Sharpe’s Tiger (chronologically first in the series) or The Last Kingdom, first in his amazing Saxon series.
