Yup, dropping the ball on the blog is a definite thing now. Similar to last year, I've read some non-library books, as well as some e-books, which I can't seem to figure out how to find in my reading history from the library. So here's what I could put together:
Dragonfly in Amber, Diana Gabaldon
Provenance, Ann Leckie
The Fifth Season, N.K. Jemison
Voyager, Diana Gabaldon
Drums of Autumn, Diana Gabaldon
The Android's Dream, John Scalzi
The Obelisk Gate, N.K. Jemison
Artemis, Andy Weir
The Stone Sky, N.K. Jemison
Red Rising, Pierce Brown
We are Legion (We are Bob), Dennis Taylor
The remains of the day, Kazuo Ishiguro
The three-body problem, Cixin Liu
The Name of the Wind, Patrick Rothfuss
The Wise Man's Fear, Patrick Rothfuss
Golden Son, Pierce Brown
Morning Star, Pierce Brown
Ball Lightning, Cixin Liu
Head On, John Scalzi
The dark forest, Cixin Liu
For We are Many, Dennis Taylor
Death's End, Cixin Liu
The Great Hunt, Robert Jordan
The Dragon Reborn, Robert Jordan
The Shadow Rising, Robert Jordan
The Fires of Heaven, Robert Jordan
Including the three from early 2018 in the previous post, that puts me at 29 for the year, which is actually surprisingly low. I've got a lot of big life changes coming up in 2019, so probably I'll read a bunch. (But being smack in the middle of Wheel of Time may make the total number of books lower, we'll see)
Stone Sky and Three Body Problem were probably the best books of the year. I'm enjoying WoT as well.
See the post labelled '0-Explanation of Classification' to see how I've organized the books according to types of readers who might like them!
I've been posting the name and a blurb about every book I've read since January 2011. I hope that eventually this blog will be a place I can send friends who ask me what they should read next.

All of 2017...
Ok I guess dropping the ball on the blog is a thing now. I've definitely read some non-library books this year, so this isn't quite a complete list. Here we go:
The Diamond Age, Neal Stephenson
Redshirts, John Scalzi
Hidden Empire, Kevin J. Anderson
The Children of Men, P.D. James
Red Rising, Pierce Brown
Mistwood, Leah Cypess
Arcanum Unbounded, Brandon Sanderson
Pathfinder, Orson Scott Card
The Black Prism, Brent Weeks
Ruins, Orson Scott Card
Visitors, Orson Scott Card
The Blood Mirror, Brent Weeks
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson
The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest, Stieg Larsson
The Girl who Played with Fire, Stieg Larsson
The Broken Eye, Brent Weeks
The Blood Mirror, Brent Weeks
Horizon Storms, Kevin J. Anderson
A Forest of Stars, Kevin J. Anderson
Of Fire and Night, Kevin J. Anderson
Scattered Suns, Kevin J. Anderson
The Blinding Knife, Brent Weeks
The Handmaid's Tale, Margret Atwood
The Ashes of Worlds, Kevin J. Anderson
Metal Swarm, Kevin J. Anderson
The Dark between the Stars, Kevin J. Anderson
Blood of the Cosmos, Kevin J. Anderson
Eternity's Mind, Kevin J. Anderson
Outlander, Diana Gabaldon
Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson
Words of Radiance, Brandon Sanderson
Oathbringer, Brandon Sanderson
Now onto the start of 2018:
Fifty Shades Darker, E.L. James
The Collapsing Empire, John Scalzi
Children of the Fleet, Orson Scott Card
Alright, so thats more than 33 books in 2017
Best book of the year was probably Oathbringer, although to be honest nothing particularly stands out.
For those keeping track:
2011: 44
2012: 32
2013: 34
2014: 27
2015: 33
2016: >31
2017: >33
This follows the trend of me reading more when I'm stressed out - 2017 was not an easy year for me. Hopefully 2018 is better, and I also get to do tons of reading :)
