Every year I keep thinking I won’t beat the previous year’s record (as I intentionally don’t keep track throughout the year). In addition, this year I did some very long fiction books. The Stormlight Archive series By Brandon Sanderson averages 45-55 hours per book, and I read 4 of them. That said, I still beat my previous record of 46 books with my new personal-best of 51 books.

As usual, most of these were audio books – and one of them was apparently so insignificant that I’ve forgotten everything about it other than its title. I might see if I can find it later and update it.

All books are listed from most-enjoyed descending to least-enjoyed, per category.
