1. Malus Domestica (S.A. Hunt 2015)

 

Definitely plan to read more than 4 ACTUAL books this year. Gonna try for 10.

First up with the start of the new year for me:

Books:
NOS4A2
Veronica Mars: Mr. Kiss and Tell

Audiobooks:
Ready Player One
Percy Jackson

Comics:
Locke & Key
Hack/Slash
Chew
Revival

 

N0S4A2 is incredible. I might read it again soon.

 

Shooting for 100 in 2017.

Update 1/29: Pretty happy with my progress so far. Was able to get ahead with some downtime over winter break and a few shorter books.

1. Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar
2. Maggie Nelson - The Argonauts
3. David Sedaris - Me Talk Pretty One Day (re-read)

11. Trevor Noah - Born a Crime

 

Tried this last year. I ended up with 25 or so :(

It's probably because I'm a stubborn reader. I always finish books even if they are pretty horrible but I don't have enough motivation to read them if they are horrible so I end up spending like 2 months on a bad book when I should just stop reading it and pick up something better.

 

Going to try to a) actually keep track of what I read this year and b) read less 800 page fantasy novels so I can actually get some more books in

(b is not going to happen)
