Happy New Year Tater readers! I’m back with my yearly look at my reading. I was a bit down this year. It is the first time in a while that I have not reached my goal of 100 books read. There are several reasons for this: better TV, too much assigned reading, mental state, etc. Hoping for a change in 2020.

Top ten books read in no particular order

• Wanderers by Chuck Wendig
• The Outsider by Stephen King
• The Institute by Stephen King
• The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo
• An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
• Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams
• Full Throttle by Joe Hill
• Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley
• Security by Gina Wohlsdorf
• The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Honorable Mention

• Sadie by Courtney Summers
• Educated by Tara Westover
• Dry by Neil Shusterman
• Mobituaries by Mo Rocca
• On The Come Up by Angie Thomas

Book I would most recommend

This is a tough one. I would probably go with Wanderers by Chuck Wendig even though it is 800 pages long and most of my friends would never read one that long.

Worst Books I Finished

This is a tougher one. I gave a lot of books 3 stars this year. The only one I gave 2 stars was Target: Alex Cross, so I guess I will go with that.

Book I Dustbunnied

It looks like I finished every book I started this year.

Number of books read: 84

Number of pages read according to Goodreads: 28,795. According to that math that is 78.9 pages a day. That’s 10 pages a day less than last year, That means another 15 -20 minutes reading a day would get me back to where I want to be. Seems doable.
