October, November, December

Closing out 2015 here:

Nine Princes in Amber, Roger Zelazny
Guns of Avalon, Roger Zelazny
Shadows of Self, Brandon Sanderson
All the Light we Cannot See, Anthony Doerr
Blood Song, Anthony Ryan
Into Thin Air, John Krakauer
The Ghost Brigades, John Scalzi

I didn't particularly enjoy the Amber books, but I know a lot of people do enjoy them. They are more classical/high fantasy type.

Shadows of Self is the most recent Mistborn book.  It was alright but didn't live up to Sanderson's other stuff for me.

All the Light we Cannot see is NOT scifi or fantasy! And it was fantastic, highly recommended. 

Blood Song is the start of the most recent series I'm into.  Its pretty good, but not great.

Into Thin Air was interesting, but not great.  Kept my attention but I'll never read it again.

The Ghost Brigades was enjoyable.  Kept my attention, I'll probably read more from the series.

This finishes 2015 and I count 33 books this year.  

For those keeping track:
2011: 44
2012: 32
2013: 34
2014: 27
2015: 33

So I average 34 books a year or about half a book a week.
