I'm a little disappointed that I didn't even break 100 this year. But I'm still happy because I read a ton of wonderful books this year. My favorites? Hard to choose, but probably Doctor Sleep, As You Wish,The Bane Chronicles, and The Monogram Murders. It was a big year for comics/graphic novels. I downloaded a TON of ebooks and didn't read very many of them, I'm afraid. I'd love to fix that in 2016. I also started a dozen books on audio but didn't get more than a few minutes into them because I couldn't concentrate on them. Some are ones I'd like to try again. Others I may never get back to. Most of my books came from the library, which is not surprising, given that I'm there 2-3 times every week. However, my giant mountain of 1,800-ish TBR books is still huge. I really must fix that, but there are just so many new and interesting books at the library I want to read! If I end up having to commute to another state for work, I suspect I'll get a lot more reading time.
