I know I'm only 8 weeks late in posting this, but better late then never I suppose. It was a great reading year, as you can see from the pictures. I finished 60 books, totaling over 18,000 pages. There were great books like The Goldfinch and We Are called to Rise. The Southern Reach trilogy was also outstanding! Everyone in my book club enjoyed The Son and passed it along to several of their friends. At the end of the year I finished Book of Strange New Things which I can't recommend enough. The Wilds was my favorite short story collection. And I was introduced to one of my favorite new authors Neil Gaiman through book club and Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods.
There were terrible books like The Kept. There were many others that I started and just couldn't finish like DFW's Infiniate Jest and Michael Chabron Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Maybe this year?
In the 60 books, only 13 were by women and only 9 by minorities. I will attempt to fix that this year. The reading goal in 2015 is 50 books. I've finished 13 so far!
