Happy Birthday Tolkien!

2017 Goal

I don't usually set goals for reading, or really have a TBR pile.  This year, though, I'm going to try to get back into reading nonfiction.  These are some of the ones I plan to read, or at least start, this year.

December Wrap Up

I read 12 books and 5 audio books this month, bringing my totals to 95 books read and 69 audio books completed in 2016. 

The most disappointing book of the year was Of Fire and Stars (review). My favorite book for December was Words in Blue (review), though Heartless (review) was close behind. My favorite book of the year was the Explorers Guild, with Kids of Appetite (review) as a close second. I read the Explorers Guild before I started reviewing again, but do plan to reread it in the next few months and will review it then.
