26 weeks, 17 books, six of those unfinished; not as good as last year, but I do have a job where I'm not really supposed to have the spare time to read at my desk anymore. Also, being fair, some of those books were a LOT THICKER than most of what I read last year. Jesus Christ, Operation Mincemeat, WHY U SO LONG.

I will close with the traditional invocation I gave last year at this time: my reading list is full, I have four library books checked out, and I have six digital ARCs in my email inbox. For the love of god, if you care for my sanity, do not take this as an opportunity to suggest books to me. :D
