Jackie B. - Death by Tsundoku (reiwing2040) | 1343 comments 150 books is scaling back?! I'm impressed. How are you progressing?


message 3: by Jen (new)

Jen (jen-usernametaken) | 13 comments I'm at 110, and Goodreads says that means I'm keeping up. Last couple of years I managed 170.
Note: I do include graphic novels and books I've re-read in the total. Also, I read a LOT of audiobooks.

Jackie B. - Death by Tsundoku (reiwing2040) | 1343 comments That's awesome! What is your favorite book(s) thus far?

Jen (jen-usernametaken) | 13 comments That's a REALLY hard question to answer!

For non-fiction, I think George Packer's The Unwinding and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me have done the most to help me see new things in the world.

Dave Egger's The Circle - I really didn't like it when I was reading it, but it keeps being a more accurate depiction of reality than I'm entirely comfortable with.

Saga and Powers are both fantastic ongoing comic series.

New fantasy series I've liked: The Queen's Thief, and The Seven Realms.

Books I put off reading for WAY too long - California, and The New Moon's Arms.

Jackie B. - Death by Tsundoku (reiwing2040) | 1343 comments I love Saga. I just picked up the 3rd volume today. It's great.

I'll definitely look into the rest of those books. I greatly appreciate your recommendations!
