    I have! I read A Head Full of Ghosts, probably based on your suggestion haha. I saw that the closest library to me also had The Little Sleep and I think Disappearance at Devil's Rock.

    Ghosts and Devil's Rock are favorites of mine, I'd have no problem calling A Head Full of Ghosts a masterpiece. As far as straight up tension, Cabin at the end of the Woods has it beat though. I keep meaning to check out his other books, I've heard they were crime novels which isn't usually a favorite of mine but I think I'm at the point where I'm more than willing to give Tremblay the benefit of the doubt.

    Never read Tremblay but I've seen this one around and am really interested, definitely my cup of tea.

    What is this Batman story from? Never heard of it

    I've now read all of Ruth Ware's bibliography in 2018 and almost all of the Audiobook versions as well. There aren't too many books coming soon that I think I'm very interested in this year so hopefully soon I'll have some older books in this list that I have at home and finally get around to

    Hit my goal a smidge early this year...

    I wish I could read that amount a year. I do a book every 2 months, if I'm lucky.

    Well done - that's impressive.
    Everyone has a different reading pace or availability to read. If six books a year is what you can manage, that's great!

    We both hit 50 on the same day, I just forgot to update my list that day you posted. Going for 100 now? I'm thinking 75 will be lucky for me--about to head into retail peak season and I'm in management now.

    It's really just work and other commitments. I do wish I could read more but unfortunately that's not the case.

    I think 70 is going to be more realistic for me. I'm trying to tick off some longer books from my reading list.

    Yeah, I totally understand. I'm quite lucky because I naturally wake up quite early so usually have an hour/an hour and a half before work to read. Add in my half hour lunch break and a quick chapter before bed and I can make some good progress.

    Audiobooks on my commute/at the gym is where I do the majority of mine.

    Should've buried a James Patterson book somewhere in the middle

    I should be hitting 50 in the next week or so.

    My next like 2 months roughly is already planned too with all the ARC I've received.

    I wish I knew this was a thing sooner. I'm always looking for people to discus good books with. My goal each year is usually 52 (I think a book a week is a pretty good rate for me), but I'm way behind that right now and have only read 23. I had so much reading and writing for school last semester that I barely had any time for reading. I'm still hoping to get to 50 or so by the end of the year, but I doubt I'll come close to the 60 I read last year.

    Did the thing. Currently reading Showtime by Jeff Pearlman and have 5 comics checked out from the library, so I'll have more to add in about a week or so. If I actually remember to update it.
