I failed spectacularly last year (and yeah, two of the titles below are graphic novels). I thought I might have had more time to read while I was travelling but betwixt the actual wandering around looking at things, meeting people, language learning and planning ahead; reading books largely got squeezed out of my life.

I read 17 out of my target of 26 books:

1) The Gilded Rage by Alexander Zaitchik 10
2) Emperor of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
3) Reel History by Alex von Tunzelmann
4) The Return of Martin Guerre by Natalie Zemon Davis 8
5) The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel
6) 1787 by Nick Brodie 12
7) Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle
8) Blackass by A. Igoni Barrett (PoC)
9) Blankets by Craig Thompson
10) I, Claudius by Robert Graves 13
11) American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang
12) The Raqqa Diaries by Samer 7
13) Introducing Hinduism by Vinay Lal
14) The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers 4
15) Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges 9, 16
16) Running Free by Richard Askwith
17) On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder 11

17% of those authors are women and 17% of them are not white.
