I beat my personal record for books read in a year this year. I'm kind of proud of it and feel silly posting about a personal achievement, but hey, what are blogs for if not expressing a little positivity about yourself?
I still have a month and a half left so hopefully I'll squeeze 2-3 more books in. Oathbringer comes out tomorrow and I'm definitely putting that next on the reading list, so it depends on how big that one is.
My favorites I read this year:
| Title | Genre | Author |
| The Dictator's Handbook | Non Fiction | Bruce Bueno De Mesquita |
| @War | Non Fiction | Shane Harris |
| Battle Cruiser: Lost Colonies 1 | Fiction | B V Larson |
| Norse Mythology | Non Fiction-ish | Neil Gaiman |
| Algorithms to Live By | Non Fiction | Brian Christian |
| The Name of the Wind: Kingkiller Chronicles 1 | Fiction | Patrick Rothfuss |
| Spec Ops: Expeditionary Force 2 | Fiction | Craig Alanson |
| The Warded Man | Fiction | Peter V. Brett |
| The Way of Kings: Stormlight Archives 1 | Fiction | Brandon Sanderson |
| Misbehaving The Making of Behavioral Economics | Non Fiction | Richard Thaler |
| Words of Radiance: Stormlight Archives 2 | Fiction | Brandon Sanderson |
| Cryptonomicon | Fiction | Neal Stephenson |
| All These Worlds: Bobiverse 3 | Fiction | Dennis E. Taylor |
| Children of Time | Fiction | Adrian Tchaikovsky |
| Edgedancer: Stormlight Archives 2.5 | Fiction | Brandon Sanderson |
Norse Mythology I called "Non Fiction-ish" because these are fictional tales, but they're the real tales people used to explain the world around them at the time, even though the content is clearly fiction, their source was more of real people telling a story.
Another quick note, I can't believe I was neglecting Fantasy for so long. I was going nuts on Sci-Fi and it turns out I was missing a lot of great books.
Here's hoping 2018 has even more great books for me to read.
