A decent year of reading, fiction-heavy, I would say, but there is a mix of other material in there as well. Also happy to note there are a good number of books in the mix from folks I know. As always, looking for recommendations and have plenty on my plate for the coming year already. I'll probably do alot less short stories and have a considerably lower count overall but that's alright.
