The author doesn’t have to be new or even new to me, but the book does (e.g. if I end up reading and loving Great Expectations, this could settle as Dickens, but not if I re-read a Christmas Carol and decide it’s the bee’s knees). No strong feeling there so far, just put a couple of authors who’re currently on my reading list pretty much at random (plus my favourite book so far). Feel free to make recommendations.

Don't forget to try more books by Brandon Sanderson.

Chris Ruccio wins despite the sequels being a bit of a disappointment and his habit of using five times as many words as the story actually needs (in the first book it's only two times, since it has more going on). But overall a very disappointing year for new books.

This is a good book year, I keep having to update the favourite almost every time I read something new

Yumi and the nightmare painter ended up really good. I might end up having to give Sanderson a nonzero percentage for it (I'll see how I feel at the end of the year).

bought Ṁ10 YES
