frankie Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) NB: I'm using the Goodreads rating system, which goes like this: 1/5: I didn't like it 2/5: It was okay 3/5: I liked it 4/5: I really liked it 5/5: It was amazing NB: I'm going to be more harsh with my rating this year, and I'm going to try and refrain from giving 5/5 to all great books, and reserve the highest rating for books that are great as well as recommendable, books that I will definitely want to re-read in the future and that I want to own a copy of.

K. Rowling: Harry Potter (series)Markus Zusak: The Book Thief*SteveThe Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson - my favourite fantasy series. I've banged the drum about it quite enough by now. It's like Marmite. Seven out of the ten books in the series are right at the top of my list: Gardens of the Moon / Deadhouse Gates / Memories of Ice / House of Chains / Midnight Tides / The Bonehunters / Toll the Hounds.The Belgariad - David Eddings - this was the series that introduced me to the fantasy genre. I loved it when I was 14 or 15. Not sure how I'd feel about it if I read it again now, but I have to include it here.On to the rest:Feersum Endjinn - Iain M.

frankie Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Okay that's actually it and this thread's ready! I didn't realize I'd be able to do this so quickly, but I left out a lot of challenges and lists and whatnots. I'll be keeping it really simple next year, by choice. Edit: When I started the thread, I was eager to do all the copy+pasting of lists on the first page, and I actually forgot about saying something about what my goals are for the year. Last year I my goal was to read more TBR books than I acquired books for TBR, and failed miserably. I think this is a combination of me having still been under the spell of the great selection at the libraries here in Helsinki. It's also to do with the fact that I now had a steady job and could actually spend money on books... And my mojo was all over the place so book buying was therapeutic. Anyway, this year I really want to try and get back to my precious TBR. The dusting of the books and the bookcase showed me how many amazing books I have to read! I also want to get back to some challenges... Mainly the Rory Gilmore one, now that I'm re-watching the series from the start. So... I'm going to try very hard not to go over the new acquisitions on the library's website and make reservations like there's no tomorrow. I've already put a hold on some of the reservations so they are not coming for me now. I have now maybe 15 library loans to read. I'll try very hard to read all of those, or at least the ones I have the mood for, and then once those are read and taken back to the library, I'll try and get back to my TBR. I'll try and go with the TBR as much as possible and only borrow a library book every now and then. Having said that, I don't want to be completely anal about the whole thing. I do want to go where my mood takes me, as I'm a mood reader. I don't want to force my reading. But I will try to focus more on my TBR Edited January 10, 2017 by frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Good Luck with your reading in 2017 ! Thanks Little Pixie! It certainly can't get worse than this year, wohoo I like your mysterious ` extra post for curious purposes `... They sound more mysterious than was intended... I only meant them to count as extra posts for any curious book projects I might think of during the reading year of 2017 Hurray for Jasper Fforde and Kathy Reichs, two of my favourite authors. I prefer Karin Slaughter to Kathy Reichs, but as I started with KR and I have some of her books on my TBR, I might as well read them. The Eyre Affair is one of my all time favorites, so it's rather tragic that I've yet to read the sequels I mean I'm happy that I have so many great novels by Fforde to look forward to, but it's rather embarrassing that I've not read them already. The first 2017 log . It looks great! I wish you very happy reading in 2017 ! Thanks Athena! I'm looking forward to everyone else's logs Happy reading to you too! Happy 2017 Frankie!! I am very envious of your lists Don't be, they vex me from time to time That's why I dropped quite a few of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
