Following a New Year's tradition that I've maintained for a number of years, I'm posting a list of the books I've read - or reread the previous year.
The 2015 book list contained 37 books. The following year, the number of books I had read dropped down to 36. I had hoped to read one book a week in 2017. I was able to keep up the average for most of the year, but I hit a slow point with José Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and I was unable to catch up. The total for 2017 was 45, if you count the audio book I listened to on Francisco Pizarro and the Conquest of Peru. Otherwise, the total is 44.
Highlights of the year for me was my reading everything available by Elizabeth von Arnim, in addition to the top ten best selling novels of 1917.
