It’s time for the round-up of the year in reading, and once again rereads dominated, although in part it was due to the number of audio books I listened to this year: 63 (35%).

I’m doing this in January for the first time, to try and encourage myself to read more new-to-me books through the end of the year, as in the past I held off reading new books after I’d written my yearly round-up posts.

To make things easier on myself, I created yet another spreadsheet, just for my favorite of the year, and I created running list with the information I use for my round up, so in theory all the gathering of data has already been done. We’ll see now how that worked.

Because I’ve been doing so much rereading for the past five years, I’ve removed the recency limit I’d been using for awhile.

I’ve also started noting cover artists in my review posts (and in fact I’ve been going back and looking for cover artists for older books. For fantasy/SF books I found resources, like Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB) that had much of the information I wanted, but have yet to find a similar resource for mystery novels; we’ll see if I can find something useful for romance novels.

As always, once I’ve written a post, I’ll link it here.
