With another year coming to an end, it is time to take a look back at the 31 books I read over the past year, even with last year and tied for my highest total ever, surpassing the 27 books I read back in 1992. Of those 31, 9 were non-fiction and, of the 22 novels, only 5 were TV show tie-ins. Only 4 of the books came from the “to-read” drawer, and 8 were e-books. I read over 11,000 pages, the most in 1 year since 1992 and my second straight year reaching the 9000 mark.
Once again, a majority of the books I read this year were by authors I’ve never read before. The 12 authors that I read for the first this year were:
Doug Wilson
Jennie Garth
Emily Heckman
J.K. Rowling
Jen Kirkman
Jack Ketchum
John Dean
Judy Greer
Jenny Lawson
Gary Dell’Abate
Anna Kendrick
Emily V. Gordon
There were 3 authors I read multiple titles from during 2016, the ghost writer for Richard Castle, Jeffery Deaver, and J.K. Rowling.
Only 2 of the books I read were released this year, while 5 of them were released last century.
Finally, the breakdown by month. Vacations in March, November, and December certainly helped pad their totals a tad bit.
