Think I'll go for 40 books or 20,000 pages, like last year. Out of 45 books last year only 3 were women authors, down from 4 out of 42 the year before, so I'll follow what many in this thread are doing and really ramp that up.

Finally finished! I'm surprised I managed to stick with it, considering how repetitive it was. Overall it was pretty enjoyable and funny, in fact some of the humor reminded me of Discworld.

7. Words of Radiance - Brandon Sanderson
Even better than The Way of Kings! There were more high points scattered throughout the book... which meant that instead of casually reading the first 3/4 then powering through the last quarter like with most Sanderson books, I powered through this one in two sittings. And Lift's interlude was awesome, gently caress the haters.
