Not a bad year of books, all things considered. I can’t say I read less than the year before when my average is up to 1.8 books per week. Given that I’ve changed jobs and had several long-term illnesses, that’s not a bad showing at all.
This years genre breakdown is really a 2-hourse race. About a third of my consumption was science fiction, but just over 40% of it was Fanfiction. I consumed 45 fanfiction titles this year, 44 of them were Harry Potter themed. That seems a crazy amount!
Of the fanfictions, some truly excellent stories. If I had to pick a top 3, they’d be The Second String by Eider_Down, Harry Is A Dragon, and That’s Okay by Saphroneth 5, and The Evans Boy by lonibal.
Other books that I gave good ratings to include The Family Experiment by John Marrs, Life in a Fishbowl by Len Vlahos and the posthumously published Traitor’s Son from Dave Duncan.
Couple of brilliant Star Trek books if you’re a fan, and there was new Douglas Richards too.
Not my best year, but by no means my worst.
