My Afflation

I made it! Had to add in a few audiobooks that I had forgotten to, but it all counts, right? My 2017 in books. You can see my whole list here . What was your favorite book of 2017? What are you looking forward to reading in 2018?

I set myself an ambitious goal this year, 30 books (because, where was I going to find the time to read, right?) Apparently I found the time to complete 34 and I am in the middle of 35, but I don't think I will finish Drums of Autumn before midnight tonight. There should be more here, I started a lot of free ones that turned out to be rubbish and a waste of time, but the ones that I did finish, I at least rated so I could go back later and write reviews for. Maybe that should be my resolution for 2015 -- to finish everything I start writing. As much as I love real books, my tablet is infinitely more portable. I read almost entirely on my Nexus 7 using either the Kindle app, Google Play Books, or Overdrive . At the beginning of the year I used the library a LOT (until I forgot to return some dead tree books ... and, some of you may know how that goes). My goal this year was to actually read more than listen to books, though sometimes audiobooks are the only way I can get through...

So I missed the freebie version of Dr. Horrible because I didn't know it was a Joss Whedon production. I have been a Joss fan since Firefly/Serenity. Still can't get into Buffy and Angel, but I'll forgive him that :) And I so wish I was going to Comic-Con!!!! Joss and Scott Sigler are going to be there this year. Anyways, back to Dr. Horrible. The one thing that is going to convince me to start using iTunes. *sigh* A LETTER FROM JOSS WHEDON Dear Friends, At last the time has come to reveal to you our Master Plan. BEWARE!
