Well... This the end of the year... So I've surpassed my goal of books read and next year I will try go to one per week - so 54 novels. Some will be audiobooks BUT let us hope not many. ~
Yeah, no eBooks, please.
Let us see what I read. Let us start with my favorite, of course;
- Blood Money - CL Werner
- Road of Skulls - Josh Reynolds
- The Devil Next Door - Tim Curran
- The Eye of the World - Robert Jordan
- 13th Legion - Gav Thorpe
- Spiderlight - Adrian Tchaikovsky
- First and Only - Dan Abnett
As you can see most of all are from Black Library. One it's the first of 14 saga that will take me a while to read and other it's one of my favourite horror writers Tim Curran.
Some of the boring/bad ones...
- Doctor Who: The Doctor's Tale - Marc Platt
- Sepulturum - Nick Kyme
- In the Belly of the Beast and Other Tales of Cthulhu Wars - Ben Monroe
- Final Fantasy Type - Manga
- Excavation - James Rollins
- The Underwhelming - Tim Curran (a rare miss)
- Whiteout - Ken Follet
- The Oubliette - JC Sterns
This are the novels I didn't enjoy at all, and to me If I didn't read them it would be better but alas. Even the bad books sometimes teach you something.
Now particularities...
Average Page Book - 251 (But If remove audiobooks and Manga it rises to 298 (not that better haha)

- 12 Black Library novels
Fantasy 8
Historical 1

Since 1950 I've read a book, one for each year. The only one missing it's 1952. Let us find one.
This is something I want to change a bit..... This is my New Year Resolution.
Buy less books. Much less books.
Each year I buy more than I read... Just to give you an example - I've bought 1696 books and I've read 602. It's beginning to be insupportable in terms of space, in terms of finances and to me that's going. My goal will be - buy at most 52.
Goals I want to buy and will buy or I am waiting
- Black Library books, paperbacks are a much... Let talk around half of the 52 will be them.~
