*… I think I may have lost track. I do know I started several books, and put them aside, because I Just Couldn’t. I stress that it wasn’t Them, it was Me. I don’t think I actually finished anything before I finally did manage to settle into a re-re-re-&C-read of The Goblin Emperor, so that’s where we’ll pick up the tally.
You and I share the same taste in reading matter. I have read and reread about half the books you listed.
Your list looks much like mine! Ive read about 80% of your list. This year I”ve read 89 books. My goal each year is 100. I’ve achieved it twice.
I did think after my kids left home, I’d have more time to read. Amended that to after retirement, but ….Also the brain seems to slow a bit with age. I don’t read as fast or concentrate as well as I did 40 years ago.
Although I’ve read SOME of the books on your list (and reread even fewer of them), I am delighted to find new titles to add to my TBR list. Of course, I’ve reread quite a few of the Liaden Universe stories this year as well as Patricia Briggs’ various series.
