Here are the books I read this year I want to read again, which is not at all the same as the books I think were the "best."Ībout half the Discworld books, which is basically all of them except the more stand-alone ones and the Rincewind ones.ĭream Thieves, by Maggie Stiefvater, because I bet when the third one comes out, it will be nice for me to go back to this one and the first one.
I miss re-reading, because many do get better and more beloved each time, and I still use "will I read it again" as my standard for Book Goodness. Pollifax, by Dorothy Gilman-which, given that I have spent most my life not having enough to read, and so re-reading desperately, gives me pause for thought (a hysterical thought along the lines of I Am Drowning In Books). There were only three books that I re-read-Jinx, by Sage Blackwood, and The King Must Die, by Mary Renault, and The Unexpected Mrs. But since I am chronically behind on reviews, this
I reviewed (using the word generously) 192 books, about half of which 133 were from the library, 118 were review copies, and the rest were my own books. In 2013, I read 319 books, three more than last year, not counting picture books (and though I want to keep on reading more books every year, being rather competitive with all my various past selves, I am trying hard to realize that this will inevitably lead to failure down the line and I should just Stop It).
