Reached my personal target of 30 books, which has really surprised me to be honest, considering the amount of time I spend gaming. TV viewing has definitely taken a backseat in my life. Sleep too, lol!

Here's the breakdown:

Fantasy - 15 books
Crime/Thriller - 6 books
Fiction/Other - 5 books
Horror - 4 books

Compared to last year's:

Fantasy - 9 books
Sci-Fi - 8 books
Crime/Thriller - 7 books
Non-Fiction - 2 books
Fiction/Other - 3 books

Hmm, no Sci-fi and no non-fiction - there's one of each on my bookshelf so that's sorted!

Only managed to read five of my own books, the rest were borrowed from friends or the library - will try to read at least six this year to clear them off my shelves! :)

  1. I really like the night watch series of books! Make sure you check out the other two in the series! Apparently there's also another, but in Russian only so far!

  3. I've read 6 of them. Really must read your Number #1 before I become the last person on the planet not to have done so.

    Happy New Year!
