We have quite a few books in common this year, looking forward to the discussions!

Same here (Time Traveler's Wife and I am Legend). I read several of the other books in 2015 so I'll join the discussions.

Realised I have the first five books of とある魔術の禁書目録 1 on my shelves and have never read them. So found my "new series" book.

I have read a lot of these, especially the classics. One I really enjoyed last year was What If? : Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions, have fun with it!

I recently read The Fold and loved it!

Added several more to the list. Slowly approaching a full deck.

Also bounced On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft across to 'A biography, autobiography, or memoir', I feel I'll have better luck finding an interesting 'non-fiction' book over a biography I want to read.

A few more updates. Probably a lot more changes before I'm through.

Ten books down. Forty-two to go.

It's still shaky and likely to change but I now have a full deck to work with. Happy.

Making a surprising amount of progress so far.

20 books down. 32 to go.

50% done. Managed to catch up after doing nothing the past two months. Need to try and get ahead again.

You have to change your #52, the book is postponed to Feb 2017 ;)

Shame, at least there are plenty of others to choose from.
