See them all on LibraryThing or on Goodreads
* 180 books, mostly Kindle with a couple of scanned books from Internet Archive
* 124 by female writers, 52 by male writers (some collaborations, not all books tagged)
* 6 rereads
My categorisations (some books will have more than one of these tags: my tagging is not consistent and I'm not 100% confident of search results):
* 49 fantasy, 25 SF, 33 historical (predominantly 19th / 20th century, with quite a few in classical Greece or the Roman Empire)
* 6 romance (about evenly het- and non-het romance: quite a change from last year)
* 9 YA/children's
* 14 non-fiction
My reading challenges:
* 52 books in 52 weeks (managed 52)
* Annual Non-Fiction Challenge (read all 12!)
Best six:
* Hopeland - Ian MacDonald
* The Witness for the Dead - Katherine Addison
* The Hands of the Emperor - Victoria Goddard
* Looking Glass Sound - Catriona Ward
