Books
I read 68 books this year. That’s 8 more than last year.
53 fiction, 15 non-fiction. That non-fiction number needs to go up next year.
Of those 53 fiction 28 were by authors new to me.

And started 2 new series/trilogies that I will continue (Kick Lanigan, Charlie Cates)

Oldest book read – Up From Slavery by Booker T Washington, 1900
Shortest book – The Croquet Player by HG Wells, 82 pages
Longest book – 11/22/63 by Stephen King, 849 pages
Most read author – Harlen Coben, Sue Grafton, JK Rowling each with 2 books a piece.
My 5 favorite books of the year
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. A classic that stands the test of time.
After You by Jojo Moyes. A worthy sequel to Me Before You, a favorite read from last year.
Home by Harlan Coben. These are always going to be favorites because he makes us wait so long between Myron and Win books!
I Must Say by Martin Short. I can only speak for the audio that Short narrated himself. I laughed and I cried.
11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a feat. I didn’t care for the very end, but this book, WOW! JFK would’ve liked it, I bet.
If you’ve done a year end list please put a link in the comments so I don’t miss it!

I love reading other people’s stats and need to do a better job of keeping track of my own. I loved 11/22/63 and talked about it so much, Carl read it. He was like you and didn’t like the ending.
Hard to believe you have ANY time for reading with all the parenting things you do!
I’m always impressed by the amount of books read by parents of young kids. Your list of favorites is so interesting. Yay for After You making both our lists!
I would like to have a “conversation” with you someday about the ending to 11/22/63. I loved it. I thought that he could have gone in a different direction but, instead, stayed with the theme of the book. But I agree with you about the book itself. It’s in my top-12 all-time.
You just barely beat me, by about 66 books.
I have the Martin Short book on my list to read in 2017. I’m going to try and keep a record of my stats too.
I almost got to HOME but decided on another book, I’m sure I will read this year. I enjoyed Me Before You so I should read After You.
