✓ Operation Read More Books You've Owned for Ages
I almost read a book a week this year: 51 started, 47 completed. However, if we count each comics trade volume as one book rather than listing them in pairs, then I did hit 52 on the dot. :)
Wow, I can't believe I only posted about one of these books. Happy to talk about any of them.
There are too many books on the to-read list to know where to start next year, but I do for sure want to track down Moonshot vol. 2 and get my hands on the Black Panther trades that've been on the back burner, now that the movie release is rapidly approaching. Also have a list of links to SF/F short stories floating around the internet that I need to sit down one day and soak in, starting with Darcie Little Badger's "The Whalebone Parrot" and including a browse through this Twitter list.
