You know what? Next year, I’m gonna do this in chronological order.

As before, this does not include audiobooks (what few I do listen to), comics of any stripe, or books I did not finish. If I included comics, I would have to include, among other things, the entirety of the Krakoan Age of X-Men comics. Five years worth of comics, devoured in less than a year. Still took a while, but it’s a lot easier to read when you’re way behind the curve and everything’s been collected!

Nonfiction books are marked with an asterisk by the title. My top 10 favorite titles have been marked in bold and underline.

• Amari and the Night Brothers – B.B. Alston
• Apollo 13* – Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger
• Bad Magic – Pseudonymous Bosch
• The Buried Giant – Kazuo Ishiguro
• Catland* – Kathryn Hughes
• Christine – Stephen King
• Ciaphas Cain – Sandy Mitchell
  • The Greater Good
  • Vainglorious

And the total is… 38! Look, it really does even out when you see how many comics I read. Some of these (I won’t name names…) took longer to get through than others, and not for page length reasons.

*Elektra and Wolverine is filed as a graphic novel in the library I got it from, and it was originally published in three single-issue installments. However, it is very much an illustrated novel–actually, probably a novella if we go by length. Still very worth picking up if you can find it, if for no other reason than to look at Amano’s art.
