This year has been a year of fiction for me. I haven't hit my goal yet but I've got some time still! Annihilation (Book one of the Southern Reach trilogy) - Jeff Vandermeer Authority (Book two of the Southern Reach trilogy) - Jeff Vandermeer Acceptance (Book three of the Southern Reach trilogy) - Jeff Vandermeer Artemis - Andy Weir The Breach (Book one of the Travis Chase trilogy) - Patrick Lee Ghost County (Book two of the Travis Chase trilogy) - Patrick Lee Deep Sky (Book three of the Travis Chase trilogy) - Patrick Lee Runner - Patrick Lee Signal - Patrick Lee Dark Matter - Blake Crouch The Atlantis Gene - A.G. Riddle The Eye of the World (Book one of The Wheel of Time) - Robert Jordan The Great Hunt (Book two of The Wheel of Time) - Robert Jordan The Dragon Reborn (Book three of The Wheel of Time) - Robert Jordan The Shadow Rising (Book four of The Wheel of Time) - Robert Jordan The Fires of Heaven (Book five of The Wheel of Time) - Robert Jordan The Way of Kings (Book one of the Stormlight Archives) - Brandon Sanderson The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien I'm currently reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Book two of the The Stormlight Archives. I'd say the biggest surprises for me would be Patrick Lee. I DEVOURED these books. The Breach, Ghost County, and Deep Sky are a trilogy. They reminded me of X-files crossed with Navy Seals but that doesn't really begin to really describe the books. I can't believe I got through so much of The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The first book was so-so but the story really picked up in the second book. I'm getting to the part of the overall story that people say gets tedious and boring but I haven't experienced this at all yet. I just finished The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson a few days ago. It's definitely one of my favorite books of all-time. It may be my favorite fantasy book but I won't know until I try to re-read it. I re-read The Hobbit every year. I never seem to get sick of it. It's going to be hard to knock this off it's thrown but damn is The Way of Kings close! This is also the first year I've ever read so many works of the same author over and over. I probably won't do it again next year. Except for maybe Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan. I found it was _usually_ harder to get into the writing once I got such a familiar feel of their style and storytelling. This didn't hold true for Sanderson and Jordan they are still blowing me away.
