Fantasy Book Club Series discussion

How was your reading in 2021? Did you meet your goal (if you set one)? What was great? Did you read any stinkers?

Here’s my summary for 2021:
My 2021 reading goal was to read 90 books and nope, I didn’t make it this year. I read 65 or 67 books—my Google Sheets list and my Goodreads list don’t agree, but I’m not going to go through and check them against each other. I think my husband and I watched a lot more TV than usual! My average rating on a 10 point scale was 8.24, slightly better than last year.

12 books earned a rating of 10, one fewer than last year:
The Madness Season by C.S. Friedman
Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton
Fool's War by Sarah Zettel
Dawn and Imago by Octavia E. Butler
The Burning White by Brent Weeks
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
Age of War by Michael J. Sullivan
Jack the Bodiless by Julian May
The King's Blood by Daniel Abraham
The Empire of Gold by S.A. Chakraborty
Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey.

Another 15 books earned a rating of 9, including some mysteries and historical fiction.

My lowest ranking this year was a 4, earned by the self-help book, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Miguel Ruiz.

Fantasy, science fiction, and mysteries/thrillers are my favorite genres and comprised most of my reading last year, as they do most every year.

My goal for 2022 is 75 books (trying to be more realistic).
