2018 Reading Highlights
Happy New Year!
I read 49 books this year, close to my average of 50. Most were really long series, including Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series and Karen Marie Monings Fever series. Both had over 10 books in each series and neither lost steam over the course of those 10+ books- quite the feat for a long series by any author. I read a number of Freddie Mercury biographies after seeing Bohemian Rhapsody and still have a few more to read, but found that Somebody to Love was the most interesting, in that it paralleled the history of AIDS along with Mercury’s story. Starless was fascinating in that it’s the first fantasy book I’ve read that featured a transgender character. Unsouled had some stellar world building.
My top 5 were:
- Somebody to Love: The Life Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury by Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne
- Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison
- Starless by Jaqueline Carey
- Dark Fever by Karen Marie Moning
- Unsouled by Will Wight

Yay for books!!! I read a few of Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices books last year, as well as some others. It's good to get offline and get my nose into a book. :) Hope to do that more in 2019, but we'll see!
