My Year In Reading

This has been a super productive year in reading, having read more books than any year before. I attempted (and failed) to read the Tournament of Books Shortlist and almost completed the Man Booker Longlist. The latter challenge was much more enjoyable!

So a quick statistical summary:

88 Books Rated on Goodreads
29,924 pages read
43 Written by Women
29 Persons of Colour authors
16 Non-Fiction
6 Short-Story Collections

Favourite Book: 4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster (honourable mention to Hannah Tinti's The Twelve Lives of Samuel Halwey)

Least Favourite: Sweet Lamb of Heaven by Lydia Millet (dishonourable mention to Tom Hank's Uncommon Type...stick to acting Tom)

Best Non-Fiction: How to Survive a Plague (but if I finish Blood in the Water by the 31st it will be that)

I'll be writing about my 2018 reading goals and some books I am really looking forward to before the end of the year. .
