2024 in Books

The final tally for this year was 29 books with 6 of those being re-reads. They had an average page count of 323 pages each. There were a couple of monster books in there (Shogun, Dune and Wolf Hall) but that seems like a reasonable average on the whole.

Being part of the regular Grognard Files bookclub definitely pushed me into reading some things this year that I wouldn't have otherwise read - notably The Sorcerer of Pyongyang and Roadside Picnic. I'm looking forward to the Horror & Spies series starting in January.

Number one author was Ben Aaronovitch with the Rivers of London Series which I am now caught up with (except for the graphic novels).
