A poor showing this year of 44 books, compared to my usual book a week, and to last year's 71 books, almost 30 more books than this year. I'm prioritizing reading higher from now on.

Favorites this year: the Toki Pona book (#21), Seveneves (#22), the Southern Reach Trilogy (#34, 35, and 37), and the two readily-available Tékumel novels (#41 and 42).
