reading: year-end summary

[redbird]

In the last couple of months, I've read several mystery novels and two fantasy romances: Paladin's Hope, by T. Kingfisher, and The Grey Horse, by R. A. MacAvoy.

Plus an assortment of short fiction, including some Yuletide fanfics.

I said a couple of days ago that I hadn't done much reading this year, but looking at the spreadsheet, it's somewhere between 30 and 42 books, depending on how I count the novellas.

I should try The Grey Horse. I love MacAvoy’s Nazhuret series, and also her Tea With the Black Dragon. I’ll put it on my list.

Oh, I really enjoyed The Grey Horse. I hope you liked it!

You could take the LibraryThing approach and just call each thing you read a work. Unless you're tracking page counts as well?

[redbird]

That has a certain simplicity, though for now I'm arbitrarily counting anthologies as single works, and listing some of the short fiction on a separate page.

I'm also flagging rereads, thou8gh tracking those less consistently than things I'm reading for the first time.

I count novellas with the novels, and list anthologies of short stories separately. If there are novellas in the anthology, I sometimes pull them out to record separately.

Pretty good! I managed...ooh, maybe 27 books? Which is much more than I had any hope of when the year started and I was finding fictional narrative so difficult to encompass. Happy new year!
